Step closer to surveillance state? France passes new spying law

http://rt.com/news/269545-france-surveillance-spying-law/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

The French parliament has adopted new legislation, giving the intelligence services more leeway to spy on the public. The bill comes the same day as French politicians voiced anger over revelations of US spying on three French presidents.

French MPs in the lower house approved the highly controversial law, dubbed by critics as the French Patriot Act, with a simple show of hands. The bill that was first introduced in April, three months after the spree of terrorist attacks across France, received approval from the legislators in France's upper house earlier this month.

With their new legal powers French intelligence services may circumvent the need for judicial warrants to use wiretapping and other surveillance methods to gather intelligence from the public.

Private residences could now be monitored using geolocation measures, while mobile communications can be intercepted and web-page visits can be monitored using a complex algorithm that internet providers will be forced to install. Installation of keyloggers to track computer usage in real time will now also be possible.

The Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve warned against "any confusion" between the bill and tapping carried out by the NSA. "This bill does not allow blanket surveillance but rather forbids it," he said, assuring that in no way does the new law endanger "individual freedoms."

The Socialist Party, The Republicans (previously UMP), and the centrist IDU Party have overwhelmingly approved the bill, while the environmentalists and Left Front voted against.

Socialist Party member of the National Assembly, Jean-Jacques Urvoas welcomed the adoption of the law, calling it the first "creation" of a "democratic legal framework" on the activities of the intelligence services in France.

Some others however opposed the law. MPs of all stripes, who consider the text "dangerous" will debate the issue on Thursday in front of the Constitutional Council to ensure compliance with the Constitution. French President Francois Hollande also promised to submit the new law for review to Constitutional Council.

Amnesty International previously described the bill as taking France "a step closer to a surveillance where nothing is secret except the surveillance itself."

This law may lead to a "mass surveillance" that will create dangers for the freedoms, said Pierre Lellouche, member of the Union for a Popular Movement. The bill he argues "is not the best way to fight terrorism."

Critics of the measure blatantly oppose metadata collection programs similar to that of the NSA bulk phone records program. Yet under the new law, authorities will be able to keep recordings for a month, and metadata for five years.

Voices in Brussels also raised concern about the legality of newly allowed surveillance gathering methods.

"It could raise important legal issues," said the first vice-president of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, in a letter to two right wing MPs as he expressed concern about possible violations of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.

The adoption of the controversial intelligence law, comes shortly immediately after Hollande released a statement saying that the latest US spying revelations on three French Presidents is "unacceptable" and "France will not tolerate it."

The allegations were first revealed by the French daily Liberation and on the Mediapart news website and WikiLeaks on Teesday. They say the NSA spied on Presidents Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande from as early as 2006 until May 2012. The White House denied the allegations, with US President Barack Obama reassuring his counterpart the US has not and "will not target the communications of the French president."

But, maybe there's nothing to worry about.  Maybe the French police are all like Inspector Clouseau.  After all, no country raises as much Hell as the French, police or no police.   

Angry taxi drivers set tires ablaze, overturn cars during Uber protest in Paris (VIDEOS)  http://rt.com/news/269686-uber-taxi-protest-paris/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

American singer Courtney Love has posted a video on Instagram, which shows her inside a taxi as protesters shout and try to open the doors.

  In a tweet, she complained to French President Francois Hollande, saying "Where are the f*****g police?" and asking if it "is legal for your people to attack visitors."

paid some guys on motorcycles to sneak us out, got chased by a mob of taxi drivers who threw rocks,  passed two police and they did nothing

they've ambushed our car and are holding our driver hostage. they're beating the cars with metal bats. this is France?? I'm safer in Baghdad

get-flash-videos (perl-Get-Flash-Videos-1.250.0-2014.03.23-mdv2011.0.noarch.rpm)

Going from version 1.24 to 1.25 the get-flash-videos coders from Google
dropped out the rtmpdump utility and went all the way for a 100% Perl
code implementation.  Somehow the change seemed to coincide with Perl
moving from version 5.8x to version 6.x.  Not many people were happy -
not in the least its hard core vintage programmers - who saw many
valuable 5.8x work go to waste with strange development measures from
way up. One such strange casualty of upper management foolishness was
the package libwww-perl-5.837, which at the time of release was one of
the magnificent wonders of Perl. It was axed and disappeared and showed
up again splintered as numerous LWP-Packages-Protocols  of several
flavors and many different editions etc., but does basicly the same as
libwww-perl-5.837 was doing. The excuse again was brought up as Ohh we
went also from openssl  0.9.8x to openssl 1.0.1x and with openssl
1.0.2x libwww-perl-5.837 will die, Ehh must stop working etc. A lot of
crap was overheard, one thing was sorely missed out on ... the NSA as
it seems that getting https to work properly inside LWP-perl-6.x has
become a immensive task, while libwww-perl-5.837 had all the goodies on
board all of the time :

Summary     : Get Flash Videos class for Perl
Architecture: noarch
Description :
get_flash_videos - Video downloader for various Flash-based video hosting
sites. Download the Flash video from the web pages given in URL, choosing
suitable filenames for each.  Alternatively if SEARCH is specified (either
quoted or unquoted), get_flash_videos will search Google Video for SEARCH,
and present a list of videos to download.  get_flash_videos attempts to
support many video sites, therefore there is no list of supported sites in
this manual page as it frequently changes, see the website for a list.
get_flash_videos uses in particular perl5 object WWW-Mechanize and others
like Net-SSLeay and IO-Socket-SSL in combination with Mozilla-CA to make
it easy to analyze Web pages and parse their contents to retrieve Flash
Video content locations.
