#1 Looks like the Dutch can do what the French can't?

"Dutch police say Telegram allows them to request phone numbers that users actually want to keep secret. This possibility contradicts the chat app's promise to users.

This emerges from documents released by police management after an appeal to the Open Government Act, reports BNR. The released documents contain instructions that allow police officers to “urgently” requisition IP addresses and phone numbers from Telegram.

“Requests are eligible if there is immediate imminent danger to life,” writes a police official. The instructions were distributed last December. They included a form with the messaging service's logo.

Telegram says it values users' privacy and even claims in its privacy policy to have “never” shared personal data with law enforcement officials. That promise has been in question for some time. The German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt) already revealed last year that it had successfully requested personal data from the messaging service."

#2 Macron’s party got way less votes and MPs than the NPF, yet it is Macron’s party that’s still running the French government, and it is Macron himself making choices on who can or cannot assume power based on what he thinks would ‘weaken France’ or not.

Squirrel!
