No mention of how this works on a technical level. Are they requiring phone manufacturers to put in a backdoor if they want to sell phones in France?

- ovi256 3y agoThis law specifies the legal mechanism for activating the backdoor. The backdoor will most likely be provided by tools like Pegasus.
- cubefox 3y agoPegasus has nothing to do with backdoors, it uses security vulnerabilities.
- moffkalast 3y agoYes, manufacturers have always been bullied by large countries to either build in backdoors for inteligence agencies or be put out of business. This just legalizes existing tech I guess, but that doesn't make it any less bizarre that they decided to put it into plain sight.
