I'm a 3x terrorist because I also use GrapheneOS.

Seems a modern problem is the significant watering down of what "terrorist" means. If blocking ads has become three measure of a terrorist:

If everyone's a terrorist... No one is.

The word no longer has any meaning. Eventually there will be two labels to apply to everyone: "corporate sheep" and "terrorist".

In which case I will always strive towards terrorist.

WTF is going on with France?

Not only France. As was always predicted to happen, governments are finding the allure of classifying undesirable organisations as terrorists too hard to resist. The UK with Palestine Action, the USA with the Muslim Brotherhood [0].

We need to repeal the War Against Terror acts that allow this to happen.

The US has even moved on to "narcoterrorists", you can just blow those ones up whenever

And France is following that path too.

GrapheneOS is moving their servers out of France if you weren't aware
