I wouldn't be surprised if meta not only hired ex-tech employees, but also hired ex-legal employees.

IRC twitter fired half of all its legal dept.

I've always enjoyed "Nique les Flics", fuck the police.

The ANT catalog[a] (or TAO catalog) is a classified product catalog by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) of which the version written in 2008–2009 was published by German news magazine Der Spiegel in December 2013. Forty-nine catalog pages[b] with pictures, diagrams and descriptions of espionage devices and spying software were published. The items are available to the Tailored Access Operations unit and are mostly targeted at products from US companies such as Apple, Cisco and Dell.

never bring your ... ID

IRC illegal in France and plenty of other EU countries. That alone will cause you issues, even if they can't pin anything else on you.

never speak to police under any circumstance

Miranda rights aren't universal. For example, in the UK authorities may draw adverse inferences based on silence.

The NSA has a 'product' catalog called ANT:

One example is DROPOUTJEEP, which allows near complete control over iphones, including their camera's.

France isn't part of FIve Eyes, but do have a secret deal with the US anyway:

(This is all decade old Snowden stuff, so I suspect their capabilities have expanded since then).

This being said, I assume much of what they do isn't exactly legal, so who knows. Given some of these treaties are secret, maybe they also have secret laws.

It's not exactly a secret anymore, it's just that no one seems to care.

Macron isn't left wing, even by international standards. He was an investment banker at Rothschild. La Republique En Marche is a centre or centre right party.
