because it happens doesn't make it right. as for "Innocent people have nothing to fear from such things," that is a stunningly naïve point of view in regard to the massive potential for false accusations of this law as it will be implemented.

I'm afraid that I don't, and never will, accept, that your right to "privacy" permits you to break the law with impunity, which is what you appear to be saying.

Clearly the majority of French MP's do not believe that this law is "indefensible", or it could not have got through parliament?

this law was voted on at 11 o'clock at night by only SIXTEEN deputies out of 577, which is scandalous in itself, and it was the object of a simple vote of raised hands instead of being the object of a "vote solennel" as it should have been, which is a nominative vote allowing each député to specify his position in regard to the proposed law. many députés wanted to abstain from the vote as a protest. you can hardly say it was supported by any credible majority under these conditions.
