They indicted 7 people for Terrorism last year because they encrypted their disks, used tail as their OS and signal for communication.
It's in French : https://www.laquadrature.net/2023/06/05/affaire-du-8-decembre-le-chiffrement-des-communications-assimile-a-un-comportement-terroriste/
Hey thanks for that. I heard about it but couldn't find any details about it
I'm not quite sure which case, I think it was about activists (not sure tho), but these fact were indeed used as an argument to support the idea that they were terrorists, because they're trying to hide something
That's a fucked up legal system...
The fact that you care about privacy means that you are hiding something which means that you are now a terrorist.
That sort of broken logic can apply to almost anything
Closer to "we think you are terrorists, but cannot prove it because You've encrypted all the relevant sources of evidence. Therefore you must not only be hiding something, but hiding evidence that you did what we accused you of, which is clear evidence that you are a terrorist, or else you wouldn't be hiding the evidence of your terrorism from us."
Which is if anything even worse, since it presupposes that any accusation made is definitely true by default. Guilt until proven innocence has a bad track record.
Yep.
No, that wasn't the "reason" like you want to make it sound by using because without any modifier like "also".
How would adding "also" fit in my sentence. I tried but couldn't.
"They indicted 7 people for Terrorism last year, in part because they encrypted their disks, used tail as their OS and signal for communication." would work maybe.
"also because"?
English isn't my native language but still it feels very off. Is it even correct ?
It's my native language and I have no idea what they're getting at either.
Don't worry...
"Correct" as in an allowed use? Yes.
That just makes it harder to read :( I think the original sentence is grammatically fine.
More words make read harder, that's right. But you can't use fewer words if the meaning changes because of that.
