Did you know, the entire world is filled with terrorists who use Arabic Numerals? Thats why we need the great and mighty American World Police and intelligent French Detectives to rid the world of evil!
Proud uBlock Origin user Terrorist here. But kind of funny that the organization that fits the definition of a terrorist group (according to @Catsrules’s definition in this thread) is pointing fingers and calls others terrorists.
Many ads are malicious. Many try to install software you didn’t ask for on your computer, or they try to trick you into pressing a “download” button on a download site that isn’t for the thing you wanted but for their software, or they fake error messages to trick you into installing malicious software.
Back when I was younger, all those sort of activities would fall under the banner of “cyber-terrorism”. Therefore, installing an ad blocker is an act of counter-terrorism.
Ahhh yes. Ignorant and unknowing govements. Everybody knows them, everybody has them. Especially when it comes to technology and cyber security. where are their advisors if you need them?
The hell’s up with France, I also recently saw a post about their president blaming video games for the mass riots that have been happening over there.
The video games thing was apparently a translation mistake, because a friend sent it to me and they had changed video games to social media. I would’ve heard it way more otherwise
I think video games were mentioned as well, not as in they were causing the riots, rather that young rioters were behaving like they were in a violent game. So the criticism might be kind of valid? I don’t know if the translation stripped the quote of some subtext, but video games are mainstream enough that I would generally expect most Gen-X and younger to understand me if I said that crossing a street under construction was “like playing Super Mario” that maybe I had to hop across something. If I said something was like CoD, I expect many people to get that as well (of a certain age). The quote I saw was like that, but if the person didn’t know games. So, a little awkward. The rioters were treating it like it was one of their video games. This has a “Hello fellow teenagers” vibe. Do you mean they are out there like it’s Stardew Valley, and it’s the last day of the month and you want to get your crop in? Or do they mean they are out there like it’s Grand Theft Auto, and they can wreak havoc and then just let their heat score drop?
We are currently organizing the next revolution. There is a lot of debate between citizens about the constitution we should write. I’m on the side of direct democracy without representation. Other french people can contact me if they want to be kept up to date
I feel like any company who isn’t making money off of you will gladly call you a terrorist and will urge their government to call you one as well, especially for people who use their sites and use ad blockers, if given the opportunity.
The judge in question had already decided that the person was a terrorist, and used all the privacy measures they used as evidence that they had something to hide.
It wasn’t just the fact that they used ad blockers, but the fact that they used encryption and software that most people wouldn’t bother to learn. That, and the fact that they taught others to do the same. Apparently, being technologically literate and concerned about privacy makes you a terrorist.
It’s disgusting that a judge can rule on things that they are totally ignorant about. I haven’t followed the entire thing, so I don’t know if there was a ruling or if the trial is still ongoing, but there have been articles about the judge’s statements.

That’s a weird way to spell “terrorist” 🤔
Your name might as well be Osama Bin Laden
Lol the French gov can lean down and kiss my big, jiggly, juicy, giant, stanky, sweaty, uBlockOrigin browser extension.
A pirate and now a terrorist, the list of cools things I am keeps on growing!
Wow, I had no idea that was going on.

The FBI recommends using an ad blocker - “Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches.” > https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221
Well that confirms it the FBI is a terrorist organization.
(This is a joke FBI)
FBI: nice save…
Soon: The FBI recommends using an ad-blocker approved by the Department of Defence
DoD: “We are not supporting Chrome at this time due to adblocking changes, use our Firefox extension to stay safe”
France is become european china at this rate… 😅
The uBlock Origin Faction? They’re over there… this is the People’s Front of uBlock Origin.
Splitter!!!

Plus you’re using lemmy, expect police on your door in 7 business days.
90% of Terrorists use the internet. Therefore, if you use the internet, you are a terrorist.
Edit: 100% of terrorists drink beverages containing water, therefore, if you drink water, you are a terrorist.
In an ongoing study every terrorist eventually dies so if you die you are a terrorist
St. Peter dont ya call my name, cause I’ll be hanging with my harem instead
Business days lmao. Wouldn’t want to make them work on the weekend!

Yeah oviously comparing rioting to videogame usage is dumb af
Yeah, declining quality of education, systemic racism and increasing difficult economic growth for youth has nothing to do with it /s
Laugh in farm simulator
No way, it’s definitely video games. Much easier to blame than to actually change stuff. /s
I think France just needs a few revolutions. Very fitting considering their anthem.
We are currently organizing the next revolution. There is a lot of debate between citizens about the constitution we should write. I’m on the side of direct democracy without representation. Other french people can contact me if they want to be kept up to date
Terrorist
Not sure how blocking ads fits into that definition. Some of us just don’t want to hear about Raid shadow legends or the latest food delivery scam.
That said from now on whenever I install uBlock in my head I will hear “bomb has been planted”.
