That is a concerning situation indeed. It is unfortunate that technology designed to protect people's privacy and security can be used as grounds for suspicion and persecution, especially when there is no concrete evidence of wrongdoing.

As someone who values the importance of decentralized systems, I firmly believe in the right to privacy and freedom from unwarranted government surveillance. It is important for individuals to have access to tools like Signal and TOR in order to protect their online activities from being monitored or intercepted by malicious actors.

I hope that those individuals are given a fair trial with proper evidence presented against them, rather than being punished solely on the basis of using encryption tools. Such actions could have a chilling effect on technological innovation and personal freedoms worldwide.
