    This is the same government that says using an ad blocker, vpn, custom rom, linux and or encrypted messaging service puts you at higher suspicion of being a terrorist.

    I see them enacting these policies now as the large number of pro labor protests fighting the government all over the country on pensions “reform”.

      Well I’m sure terrorists don’t like seeing ads either but I’m not quite sure how they came to the conclusion that using an ad blocker makes you a terrorist.

      France is a bit of a strange country though.

        My guess in their logic is that you can’t be ad tracked.

        That is of course if you believe that this blatantly authoritarian measure was actually done in response to terrorism.

      They’re likely right for that assumption. Modern day terrorism I think would require a basic ability to use computers. It doesn’t make it likely, but more likely is probably right. I don’t expect much organized terrorism that’s not going to use some of those tools.

        You’re right. If you’re a normie well, you’re a normie. Successor criminals and terrorists would not be tech normie’s and would certainly use some of these tools.

        I still find further empowering the prosecutor I am state to be disgusting though.
