Le Parisien is not the french state. I doubt you had any interaction with the french authorities at all.

I understand this can be seen as more threatening even if the whole quote softens this a bit.
I'm all for assuming the worst, but not to the point of putting words in someone's mouth.
The reality is that the west got very comfortable with a world where any and all communication can be trivially wire tapped.
Telephony, messaging, and even the internet - these were not only abused, but abused on such a scale that virtually no data could ever be safe from the eye of the state. Even printed media would leak it's location, etched in microscopic ink.
We, unceramoniously and rapidly, yanked this power out from underneath them. For the first time in a very long time, it is possible to have communication which cannot be surveilled.
Knowing what we know about how governments work, are we shocked that there is push back to this? Frankly, the only reason we aren't seeing more abuse is because the big dogs still permit absolute serveillance. I'm sure at the behest of the state.
Projects like grapheneos and signal represent an existential threat to the current model of citizen serveillance and crime solving. Starving dogs will bite.
