The law doesn't say being suspicious is criminal, but that organising with the intent to commit terrorism is, and that's what the prosecutor's will have to prove.
The real, actual problem is the unlawful detention.
> And, amongst other things, using Signal and Linux with the encryption-on settings are explicitly listed as some of the things making them suspicious in the eyes of the law.
In combination with other things, and in this article there are quotes from interrogations which explicitly ask "have you organised illegal activities through encrypted chat communications".
- raverbashing 3y agoYeah, as much as saying 'using encrypted communications' is a very cheap shot by the prosecution, this seems to be the gist of it, the combination and the organization
- heywhatupboys 3y ago> The real, actual problem is the unlawful detention. how is this defined?
- Aeolun 3y ago> have you organised illegal activities through encrypted chat communications If I did, why in hells name would I tell you? Why would you ask that in the first place? To catch out the incredibly dumb terrorists?
- icefo 3y agoTo put you in prison if they find by some mean you did. The mean could be a 5$ wrench, hacking into your devices or plain old surveillance
- martin8412 3y agoIf you lie, they can either put you in prison or deport you if you are not a citizen.
- Aeolun 3y agoIf I lie, and they can prove that I lied (e.g. I organized illegal activities, which is itself illegal) they can do that anyway. There's absolutely nothing you gain by making it easy for them by telling them that you did.
