    Upon further reading and listening, I blame the source article and not Louis Rossmann.

    These people had :

    Returned from partisan fighting with the Kurds against ISIS

    Had stuff to make explosives

    Firearms and ammo

    Were reportedly seen by surveillance to be practicing making explosives

    And this article makes it seem like they were arrested for using encryption. They are turning a footnote into a title.

    This is not a internet privacy scandal, this is a anti-far-left law enforcement overreaction scandal

      Exactly. I just love it that they managed to get uBO into this mess as well, even if it’s not related to it at all lol. Their affords seems way more fishy to me because of that tbh.

    Interesting considering the French government was one of the first groups to turn to Matrix for secure inter-agency communications.

    I agree with others in the thread, it seems like the original article was overblown in its references to encryption. The French government obviously doesn’t have problems with encryption considering how deeply they’ve embraced the Matrix protocol for communications.
