I am an ad-block user a terrorist?!? France just declared people who use ad-blockers terrorists.
Anyone else here a terrorist? 🤣 I’m part of the uBlock Origin faction, what faction(s) do you belong to?

For legal purposes, no we are not terrorists. I mean unless you have a twisted worldview as a french bureaucrat.
The judge in question had already decided that the person was a terrorist, and used all the privacy measures they used as evidence that they had something to hide.
It wasn’t just the fact that they used ad blockers, but the fact that they used encryption and software that most people wouldn’t bother to learn. That, and the fact that they taught others to do the same. Apparently, being technologically literate and concerned about privacy makes you a terrorist.
It’s disgusting that a judge can rule on things that they are totally ignorant about. I haven’t followed the entire thing, so I don’t know if there was a ruling or if the trial is still ongoing, but there have been articles about the judge’s statements.
