Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk warned the public on Friday that one of the most widely-used pieces of modern technology in the United States is dangerous.

“Phones are not safe,” Musk tweeted, responding to a report that French police will now have the authority to remotely access citizens’ cameras, microphones and location information on phones and other popular devices.

According to Gizmodo (https://gizmodo.com/france-bill-allows-police-access-phones-camera-gps-1850609772), authorities can collect video and audio recordings by remotely activating cameras and microphones. While officials say the new legislation will only be used on criminal suspects,  many believe the unrestricted access will be used for nefarious purposes.

@Elderberry

ROFLMAO!

Then again,if you are in law enforcement these days,EVERYONE is a criminal suspect,even thee and me.
