Top comment on this video is the following:

Upon further reading and listening, I blame the source article and not Louis Rossmann.

These people had :

Returned from partisan fighting with the Kurds against ISIS

Had stuff to make explosives

Firearms and ammo

Were reportedly seen by surveillance to be practicing making explosives

And this article makes it seem like they were arrested for using encryption. They are turning a footnote into a title.

This is not a internet privacy scandal, this is a anti-far-left law enforcement overreaction scandal

So? There's a good answer for that comment at the comments too. Even if the accusation is true, it doesn't mean the point doesn't stand for us, normal users. And doesn't make the article's point instantly untrue.

I'm just providing the comment for additional context.

Exactly. I just love it that they managed to get uBO into this mess as well, even if it's not related to it at all lol. Their affords seems way more fishy to me because of that tbh.

Is there a link or is this app I’m testing (mlem) just not there yet?
