The prime minister denied any knowledge of such police requests, adding: “Internet is a freedom, is an extraordinary means of communication between people, it is a benefit to the economy.” Mr Valls said he understood the security services’ need for tough measures to fight terrorism but stressed that those measures had to be “effective”.
The government is advising police to improve their fight against terrorism because of the recent attacks and all combats “must be effective”.
