The association "La quadrature du Net", specializing in the defense of freedoms in the digital domain, has announced that it is contesting before the administrative court of Marseille a municipal video protection project called "intelligent" that it considers "dangerous" and "illegal. ".
A first appeal was filed in January by the association, then associated with the League of Human Rights (LDH), but it had been rejected, the court ruling that the proof of an administrative decision of the city in the material had not been brought.
Still relevant
The city of Marseille, then headed by the mayor LR Jean-Claude Gaudin, had told AFP that the device was "in the test phase".
This time, the request filed on December 3 and consulted by AFP explicitly targets "a contract concluded by the city of Marseille with the company SNEF, relating to the acquisition of an intelligent video protection device".
"We are filing a new appeal against a project which is still relevant despite the change of majority at the town hall", justified Thursday in a statement La quadrature du Net.
Michèle Rubirola, at the head of a union of the left, succeeded Jean-Claude Gaudin as mayor of Marseille since this summer.
The squaring of the Net highlights the "criticisms formulated by the Cnil".
The National Commission for Informatics and Freedom (Cnil) had referred to an “incomplete” impact analysis regarding this project and wished for “more details”, in particular on its legal framework.
