    That first article, though I have read it through a translation app, is truly insane. The judge’s quoted statement is just terrifying:

    > « L’ensemble des membres de ce groupe se montraient particulièrement méfiants, ne communiquaient entre eux que par des applications cryptées, en particulier Signal, et procédaient au cryptage de leurs supports informatiques […]. »

    Translated via DeepL: > “All the members of this group were particularly suspicious, communicating with each other only via encrypted applications, in particular Signal, and encrypting their computer media […]”.

    Clandestine behavior, he says. Is the judge seriously thinking along the lines of “if you’ve got nothing to hide…” and associating ‘clandestine behavior’ to being a criminal? That’s scary.


    EDIT:
