I'm french, I've heard of this biometric thing, and so far it doesn't seem people are really scared of this, so... yeah, it sounds click-baity.
French people are very sensitive to their rights and liberties, and are very quick to organize protests. Many steps were taken to monitor potential terrorists since the Paris attacks, and those were not well received, but politically it was hard to not implement those measures.
I might be a little patriot, but generally the french state does a good job, mainly because french citizens and voters are forcing the government to have pretty high standards.
- Legogris 7y agoDon't you think there would be more outrage if more people were aware both that it's happening and of its implications and possibilities? I think there's a large ignorance (and I can't really blame people) here. The interview subjects in the articles from across the spectrum are all concerned. It seems there's contention inside the government as well.
- conradfr 7y ago> French people are very sensitive to their rights and liberties How many protests over the several laws that have continually reduced those rights since for at least the last ten years ?
- ekianjo 7y ago> French people are very sensitive to their rights and liberties Oh really, like the non-existing demonstrations against the increase of surveillance in the past 10 years?
- mratsim 7y agoSurveillance by which country?
- ekianjo 7y agoWell first and foremost the French government.
- lprd 7y agoWhat increased surveillance? Outside of increased security measures (which most which have winded down now) due to the terrorist attacks, I can't really see what you are talking about. Anything to substantiate your claim would be useful...
