    Don’t you just love it when the justification for fascism becomes, “What about the kids?” I am not saying that this is necessarily the case in this instance, but it’s a common refrain for breaking technology and taking away rights by the authoritarian state.

        Truth is, terrorists can fight for freedom. Terrorism isn’t always bad. As a french, I’m well aware of the need for revolt

            Terrorists and authoritarian governments are each others’ greatest allies even though both pretend otherwise. Each one uses the other to endear itself to the people and justify atrocities that they would otherwise never get away with, all in the name of protecting you from the other one.
