*DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!*

“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

The United Nations has placed the United States on the Human Right's Watch List.

We are no longer, number one, in regard to freedom of speech. And this is not what democracy looks like, this is what fascism looks like.

**Privacy Alert: The New French Surveillance Law**

The proposed law not only targets drug trafficking but also poses a significant threat to the very foundation of our digital privacy. By mandating "backdoors" in encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp, this legislation compromises the security of all users. This sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to widespread surveillance and abuse.

**Why It Matters**: Encryption is essential for safeguarding our personal communications from prying eyes, including those of malicious actors. If the government can access our messages, so can hackers.

**Take Action**: Join the fight against this invasive law! If you are a French national or resident, contact your representatives and demand they prioritize our digital rights. For more information, including how to find and contact your local representative, visit the French article: [La Quadrature du Net](https://www.laquadrature.net/narcotraficotage/).

"The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday... 10 days after the White House began restricting access...

"'The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their own words and not be retaliated against by the government,' the AP said in its lawsuit...

"'We’re going to keep them out until such time as they agree that it’s the Gulf of America,' Trump said Tuesday."
