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:
English language version of the first article (much thanks to @[email protected]): https://www.laquadrature.net/en/2023/06/05/criminalization-of-encryption-the-8-december-case/
Yes, very bad precedent
