French Parliament has proposed a controversial anti-terrorism bill that calls for extensive government surveillance to thwart terrorist attacks.
According to the Verge, the lawmakers said that the measure is necessary to prevent terrorist attacks.
However, the bill has received a lot of criticism from French internet companies over fears that the move could harm businesses.
The proposed law that was introduced on Monday in Parliament would allow the government to monitor emails and phone calls of suspected terrorists and their contacts, without seeking approval from the judge.
