“Lawyers said the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) and the Human Rights League would file the ‘complaint against X’ in Paris. Under French law, such complaints allow investigators to pursue a wide-ranging probe that does not target any particular individual or company. Daoud told France Info radio the complaint was aimed at determining whether ‘the companies made their servers available to the FBI and NSA’ for collection of personal data. If so, he said, the companies could face criminal charges in France of violating data protection and privacy rules.”
