France & Tor LATE Warning!

Tor is creamed due to the French riots.  The French government is getting help from US. If you update Kaisen over Tor or in France you are going to be creamed.

3 Kaisen instances creamed so far.
Downloads of Tor Browser seriously hurt especially over Tor in many OSes including Debian.
Torbrowser-downloader creamed in most distribution.

Whonix is somewhat OK for the time being because they do have their own repo but something fishy is going on there too.

GUIX I don't know because I don't have enough spare instances to test that part.  I did not notice a direct attacked and I did not ran it through Tor to check it out.

Qubes OS got creamed in less secure instances without UEFI.

Stay away from updates of ANY OS at this time.  If you notice any problems with i2p please report.  I did not take a count of French routers or looked for that.

I'd love to see some proof for these statements.


Meanwhile, admire a full digital police state:

"France Passes New Bill Allowing Police to Remotely Activate Cameras on Citizens' Phones"

Of course, it's only to catch terrorists and stuff...

Do you have more information about what they exactly do?

Doesn't that only applies to operating systems that the user generally
can't fully control, like Windows, iOS and Android?

I don't know how they want to turn on the camera of a laptop running
Slackware.

You are probably right in that it will be a lot easier for them on other OSses. However, I think the bigger point here is that they are legally allowed to do that kind of shit now. Before, they were maybe doing it, but only on the sly, now it is legal.
Also, if I was in their position, my next proposal would then be that all devices need a kind of legal intercept interface, or else it will be illegal to run them. Goodbye OSS...

It does say if I read correctly that they now need a judge approval, like a warrant maybe? This is still not good, but I believe in the U.S. it is the same and has been for a while. Not that the U.S. is some sort of example of limiting government overreach!

This has been going on for a while with trying to force encrypted communication apps to provide backdoors.

Although, that is IT security. People lock their house door even if
stealing is illegal to make it hard.
This should apply to their computers too.

That is something I fear more about.

The crypto wars also existed and Joe Biden was involved. In certain EU
countries politicians think about denying strong cryptography without
backdoor.
