They did charge him on providing "unlicensed" cryptographic services, and I wonder what the requirements for licensing them are if they are public at all.

- throwaway48540 2y agoNo requirements, it's not possible. That license is reserved for government, military etc.
- oytis 2y agoEncryption is illegal in France? Hard to believe that. Do French websites not use TLS?
- throwaway48540 2y agoEncryption that hides information about who is using it is illegal, yes. Your ISP would provide the information so TLS is okay.
- octacat 2y agoSo, TOR is illegal?
- throwaway48540 2y agoI'd guess so.
- octacat 2y agoheh, TOR devs should probably not visit France. But probably "nobody cares until there is some political benifit".
