> by "blending in" as a typical Internet user How do you blend in? By not visiting any "subversive" websites and by not mentioning any "subversive" keywords. At that point you are a typical internet user. But how do you know what is considered subversive? Animal rights/environmental activists with no actual proof that they've done anything or planned anything are under house arrest right now in France just because the government wanted to free up resources to track Islamic extremist terrorists. > using Tor. where just one mistake might trigger a red flag? Btw as a point of interest your username just triggered a red flag and got put on a slightly elevated watch level by the US surveillance program. Why? You mentioned the word "Tor" (Snowden files for details). > wouldn't applicable if you do have something to hide, though... Hmm! Do you have genitals? Do you like keeping tabs on who gets to see them? Congratulations you have something to hide. Would you like your boss to see what porn you watch? Congratulations you have something to hide.

  The Guardian and the Independent reported it. As far as the reports stated the State of Emergency is ongoing.

Two people don't like reality so they try to downvote it out of the way.

  You're being downvoted because you're saying things you can't cite (people without warrants under house arrest). Unless you can provide a source, something like that is perceived not to be true.

    We live in the internet age. People can click on the top link on google (search term: "State of Emergency France Independent") themselves. But here let me google that for you instead. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-state-of-emergency-declared-for-three-months-allowing-authorities-to-shut-down-websites-and-a6740886.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-state-... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/frances-state-of-emergency-could-be-extended-indefinitely-a6758686.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/frances-state...

      We live in the internet age, and as you say, it's trivial to locate sources. It's therefore considered at best discourteous and at worst peddling misinformation when you don't provide them yourself. Burden of proof and all that. But thanks for coming through.
