    We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

      Just remember “terrorism” is a generic term these days. Russia invaded Ukraine over “terrorism.”

      It wouldn’t shock me if they started carefully monitoring political views to detect anything the state doesn’t like.

        Don’t fall victim to language nihilism. It’s much better to say “hey buddy, that’s not terrorism, you are a fucking liar and your deliberate misuse of language disrespects the real victims of terrorism.” They want us to lose objective truth, which is why it’s so important to fight back.
