Members of the French Parliament supported a bill that would expand the Intelligence Law to enable the use of surveillance on "foreign influence," Euractiv reports. The law currently uses surveillance measures to monitor behavior flagged as potential terrorism. The Senate is expected to discuss the bill this month. Privacy experts raised concerns that expanding the law could threaten privacy and "civil liberties since the algorithms used for surveillance are secret and not available for scrutiny."
