The National Assembly debates a bill from Renaissance MP Sacha Houlié aimed at fighting foreign interference. The bill intends to establish an obligation for representatives of foreign interests outside the European Union who lobby in France to register on a national register.
The proposal also plans to expand an algorithmic surveillance system launched in 2015 and intended to identify connections on the Internet. This will be done using an algorithm which will be applied to telephone connection data to report all suspicious behavior and better identify all the people who are likely to engage in espionage in France.
