France's data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés, issued its opinion on a security law concerning the protection of personal data collected by drones. The CNIL said the measures in the bill need to be strictly regulated to guarantee a balance between legitimate security needs and respect for the privacy rights of individuals. The agency calls for further limitations on instances when drones can be used and to make sure the devices are only deployed for justifiable reasons.
