Which has nothing to do with the Paris attacks. These fuckers are just using it as an excuse to push their big-brother police state. It is despicable to use a tragedy like this to restrict the freedoms of your citizens, and also do nothing to actually protect them against these attacks. I don't know shit about French politics, but hopefully someone over there fights this.

Sometimes people just exploit tragedy for their own personal agendas. Not everything is a false flag.

However it is very suspicious that a robust, privacy-invading surveillance network failed to pick these guys up. But then again never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Wasn't the Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed in Paris or something?

Article 19.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

I'm guessing there would be a legal conflict in French law anyway.

Most european countries have a "Consitutional Court" like US has the Supreme Court. Each law is analyzed there if it's consititional or not before being passed. If they give it a go, then it's nothing that the citizen can do even if in every elementary logic it's against the consitution.
