Before France takes advantage of what happened (again) to pass even more draconian laws "to protect people against terrorists", it's important to remember that it passed a mass surveillance law months ago, and these awful attacks still happened!

Also a reminder that mass surveillance DOESN'T FREAKING WORK to protect against these sort of attacks. Stop letting them get away with it and letting them pass such laws that abuse innocent people's rights, when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK:

Also, intelligence officers should be FIRED EN MASSE for what happened - because they aren't doing their jobs - actual investigative work - and this happened ON THEIR TIME. Instead of following dangerous targets, they waste time by spying on millions of innocent people or for economic purposes.

Surveillance needs an overhaul in all countries, and it's time to admit mass spying doesn't work, if we are to actually stop wasting time looking at tens of millions of innocent's people data, instead of following leads.
