French lawmakers agreed to a justice reform bill that includes a provision granting police the power to get suspects' geolocation through phones and other devices.
Maybe a dumb question, but how the hell would they access my camera/geolocation etc?
On e.g. a stock pixel device, would the french police have an actual backdoor through google? Or would it be through compromised shitty apps (like the chat app that was being used by criminals a while back, which was actually made by the police)?
Probably a targeted attack or perhaps they could go to a provider to request they give you a tailored update. These agencies buy exploits from various firms too.
Ok, so I guess the risk is not really big if you use common sense and use some digital hygiene. The bigger OS exploits can’t really be protected against anyway as an end-user…
