The head of Paris cybercrime warned the state will prosecute developers who refuse to cooperate,even when they broke no law. "Do what I say or go to prison." That is extortion, and the prosecutor is the real criminal.

Our safety right now is being ???? Got 2 Pine64 phones. Still working on the Kernel. X account works under the Tor Browser. I am full blown Linux.

That is a state openly telling its citizens that it can and will use coercive means against them. That is the reality of the "rules based order" that they like to invoke so often — there are no rules, and you have no rights. In the end, the only thing that matters is force.

They should do what ransomware groups do to these kinds of people: take their most precious secrets and directly pressure them into paying, threatening to publish them—but in the end, publish them anyway.

I'd rather take a gun to my head than surrender to the Authoritarian regime.

This is authoritarianism disguised as public safety. 🚔 If the law isn’t broken, the punishment shouldn’t be invented. Forcing compliance under threat of prison isn’t "enforcement"—it’s state-sponsored extortion. They don’t want cooperation; they want control. And they’re using the threat of incarceration to bypass due process. If you can’t enforce the law, don’t just throw people in jail until they obey. That’s not justice. That’s bullying with a badge. 📉 #CyberLaw #Paris #TechPolicy
