VPN services and other security tools won’t be able to protect people from this kind of state-surveillance. What’s next for France’s justice reform bill?

This isn’t going to be regularly used. For the average iPhone user you’d probably need to use Pegasus, which costs something insane like US$60k per target device.
The more likey vector will be things like Ring doorbells - we already know Amazon will handover footage to Police without even requiring a warrant.

I’m not saying they won’t want to use it, but Police have limited budgets like everyone else. A quick google shows the average salary of a police office in France is US$57k. Pegasus is $60k per use. If a police department has to choose between spying on 10 phones or hiring 10 more cops, I think they’re going to choose the extra manpower almost every time.

I assume the French also gained access to stuff like DROPOUTJEEP after signing the secret Lustre treaty.
