    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

      Was just coming in to explain this. There’s a ton of context that these articles/videos are leaving out.

      However, it’ll still be interesting to watch and see how much they are able to use the evidence of “this person uses Signal, Tor, etc.” in court to prove their guilt. I’m not familiar with the French legal system, but I’m hoping that these security practices aren’t going to be used as evidence of guilt. That would be a troubling sign.
