If they refused to hand over data that they had about individuals on a warrant, I can see how the arrest was kind of justified.
If the arrest was for refusing to install a backdoor for law enforcement to spy on anyone they want, then France needs to be kicked out of EU and sanctioned for human rights violations.
Why would they be kicked out of the EU? The EU wants this too: https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/19/24181214/eu-chat-control-law-propose-scanning-encrypted-messages-csam
They've been delaying a vote on it because they haven't had enough support to get it through.
Looks like they'll prepare another round in October, which would be voted on in December. They'll want this to pass under the radar, preferably behind closed doors.
Seems enough countries have changed their stance that it could pass this time, unless we keep putting pressure on our representatives.
