    The article is in French but talks about a group of individuals being tried for “radical left wing” terrorism. The article talks about how the French intelligence agency “DGSI” is very heavily emphasizing the group’s use of encryption and privacy programs as being a sign of their collective guilt. The accused are being grilled for using programs like uBlock, Signal, and Linux as a sign of their “clandestine” activities.

    If you look up the DGSI you’ll see their claim to fame is arresting a French Wikipedia admin and forcing him under duress to delete an article on a French military radio tower.
