I can't say I am surprised

Thats why France detained the CEO to force this to happen

Tells you who the governments think the enemy truly are... Us. Their citizens.

[zaphael]

The governments refuses to leave us alone

How is everybody enjoying our Brave New 1984? Well, buckle up buckos! Because it is only going to get better!

Being lazy and not getting organized to fight back is going to cost all of us dearly

[mellowmissmuffett]

Nope. I fully agree with u. They all say, “it’s no big deal for us. We aren’t doing anything wrong”….until the government decides they don’t like u. Then, u are. If u agree with removing awful people’s rights in this way, u can go ahead and say goodbye to ur own. For now, they’re coming for a few certain groups. One day, that group could include u, and for whatever reason they decide.

By their logic, are they now going to arrest alcohol company CEOs because their customers commit crimes? Don't forget vehicle CEOs, their products are used in a variety of crimes as well.

And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak up.

[TheStarcleaver]

this is not going to be used against actual criminals, but anyone who isn't a far left NPC

To the simps who thinks this is a good idea, Gavin Newsome and the UK government and other leftist regimes want you in prison if your memes make fun of them.

Control, that's what it will ALWAYS be about...

The government should not police speech or spy on private citizens communications.

[HelloKittySGTC]

Never give anyone your phone number or ip address, if you want you account private.
They are holding our data hostage to use for their own gain and priveleges

[alchobum]

It's not about free speech. It's about the right to have a private conversation with others. That is made possible by end to end encryption. And made impossible by the French government because of this obsession with being able to monitor everything.
Pavel could open source the app and server code and let fly ten thousand private services.

Well, just another tick for the Dystopia Bingo card

Guilt by association has been a thing since high school detention. We've been programmed to accept it since teen age.

The UN just agreed on the Pact for the Future too. Free speech around the world is on life support. Gotta get politicians in office who love our constitution and our national sovereignty

[luisemoralesfalcon]

People applauding more governments like China.
