I have great respect for Quadrature du Net but bear in mind they are almost extrem left and whatever govt say they will be against...
They have been nothing but rational and respectful in everything they have done so far.
You can see it in the writing of the article, it's methodical, logical, and rely strongly on facts through quoting documents.
This have been consistent for years, something I give them a lot of credits for.
Besides, no matter the political orientation of the govt, I think it's safe to say no group at the top was not worth of opposition during the last decades. So it's nice to have movements like La Quadrature that keep them in check.
For the US guys here, the equivalent would be the FBI tracking down a few guys back from Afghanistan, monitoring who they talk to, see that they are curious about how to make bombs, how to encrypt your communications, etc, and write an article saying "oh look, the FBI thinkgs that buying sugar at the supermarket is suspicious", because among 1000 other evidence, the FBI at some point noted that "individual bought ingredients to a make a bomb and bought 25kg of sugar".
But they didn't.
That's the red flag.
