All internet user data in France must be stored for 1 year. Data can be accessed by intelligence agencies.
Laws defining internet data collection / surveillance regulations are very vague. Definition on who can be suspect or how is one identified as threat are not known. Extent of said surveillance powers – unknown.
ISPs have to store internet user data and collection is done with little oversight.
