Top comment on this video is the following:

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

Wtf

Is there a link or is this app I’m testing (mlem) just not there yet?

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.
