The father used to have 14 days off when his baby was born, now it is 1 month, but it is still not as long as the mother's leave (very far from the 14 months in Germany to share between the parents as they want).
I'm having a hard time understanding what is happening here.
Bear in mind all that follows is context from the same article, and La Quadrature Du Net is very opinionated. I have done no fact checks on this.
Several people have been arrested and will be on trial in december for the nebulous charge of "being a group of people with the intention of committing criminal terrorism", a charge that is normally reserved for when you find a bunch of terrorists in an appartment and you don't want to go about proving that every single one of them is a terrorist. The reason given by the police is that they are apparently engaging in very secretive behavior, such as encrypting their android phones (default since android 8 iirc), using e2e ecrypted messaging apps, using TOR and Tails, and teaching others how to do all of that. Notice that the police has failed to actually give a reason on what terrorism they're planning on doing, citing their use of Signal as the reason they're unable to find what it is.
This disregards the fact that these people also use unencrypted SMS as does most of western europe, and that 5 out of 6 of them have given them access to the phones used to access signal, which means they can read the messages (In France, you do not have the right to not give the police your phone password. Failure to do so when asked (read: whenever you're arrested for any reason including being at a protest - Fun!) Usually results in more charges being tacked on, which are thrown out a fair chunk of the time).
Ultimately it seems from this article that the police saw these people engaging in behavior that looked suspicious because criminals use encryption (disregard that a lot of people use encryption) and were overzealous in arresting them, propmting them to produce any reason for doing so and turning this police error into a landmark case for the right to use encryption. We shall see in december (more likely far later due to appeals, this isn't going to be a fast trial) whether or not math is outlawed de jure or not.
