<p class="p1"><span class="s1">French parliamentary deputies have voted in favor of legislation that would see execs from private companies jailed for refusal to hand over encrypted data to investigators, reports the <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/03/french-parliament-penalise-smartphone-makers-over-encryption" target="_blank">Guardian[/url]. While no direct reference was made to the <a href="http://9to5mac.com/tag/fbi/" target="_blank">Apple/FBI battle[/url], it is clear that this was behind the proposal.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The controversial amendment, drafted by the rightwing opposition, stipulates that a private company which refuses to hand over encrypted data to an investigating authority would face up to five years in jail and a €350,000 (£270,000) fine.</span></p>
