Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about the potential implications of the bill. Digital rights group La Quadrature du Net has previously highlighted the risk of abuse, pointing out that the bill lacks clarity regarding what constitutes a serious crime. There are fears that the French government might exploit this ambiguity to target environmental activists and others who do not pose significant threats. The organization also highlights the tendency of worrisome security policies to expand into less serious offenses. La Quadrature notes that genetic registration, initially limited to sex offenders, is now employed for most crimes.
Furthermore, the group emphasizes that remote access may depend on exploiting security vulnerabilities. Instead of addressing these vulnerabilities with manufacturers to enhance security, police would potentially exploit security flaws, according to La Quadrature.
