Why the would the FBI have anything to to with protests in France? FBI has no business doing anything in France. France is in no way under U.S. jurisdiction.

Whilst this is true, the idea that world gvmts don't help each other out is not reflective of reality.

For example, a French journalist who is very critical of Macron, recently attended a book fair in London. The minute he got off the train he was arrested under UK anti terrorism laws and asked to provide passcodes for all his devices.

Being critical of Macron makes you a terrorist?

[–] leraje@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Anti terrorist laws in the UK are used because they give the Police extended powers with no need to establish suspicion.

Cops helping cops should surprise no one.

I doubt that this would comply with European privacy legislation.
