Un seul abonnement Surfshark, une infinité d'appareils protégés pour la rentrée
-- Article en partenariat avec Surfshark --Reply sourceVous savez ce qui est pire qu'un cousin qui vous demande votre mot de passe Netflix ? C'est quand ledit cousin vous demande aussi un VPN pour sa boîte, sa copine, son chien et sa PlayStation. Et là, vous devez lui expliquer que la plupart des VPN c'est 10 appareils max, et que non, vous allez pas payer trois abonnements différents pour que toute la famille puisse regarder Koh Lanta en sécurité.
Surfshark, lui, a compris le problème. Connexions simultanées illimitées. Un seul abonnement, tous vos appareils, tous ceux de votre mère, de votre frère, de votre coloc, et même de ce pote qui squatte votre canapé depuis trois mois. C'est pas une fonctionnalité, c'est une déclaration de guerre contre les limites artificielles des concurrents.
Et en 2026, Surfshark n'a pas chômé
L'année a été chargée chez Surfshark . Ils ont sorti des fonctionnalités qui font passer la concurrence pour des dinosaures.
Dausos : le protocole qui envoie du pâté
Surfshark a lancé son propre protocole propriétaire, Dausos. Chiffrement AEGIS-256X2, résistant à l'informatique quantique, et jusqu'à 30% plus rapide que les protocoles standards. Le truc ouf ? Chaque utilisateur a son propre tunnel de trafic dédié. La plupart des VPN vous mettent dans des voies partagées où vos données se mélangent à celles des autres. Dausos vous donne votre propre autoroute privée.
Le seul hic (et c'est un gros hic) c'est que pour l'instant, Dausos n'est dispo que sur macOS. Les utilisateurs Windows et Android ragent, et Surfshark a promis d'étudier les retours pour décider où expander ensuite. Mais si vous avez un MacBook, vous êtes déjà dans le futur.
FastTrack : votre trafic prend l'autoroute
Il y a quelques semaines, Surfshark a étendu FastTrack à plus de la moitié de son réseau. Des gains de vitesse allant jusqu'à 70% par rapport à une connexion classique (selon le site). Au lieu de vous envoyer bêtement vers le serveur le plus proche, FastTrack analyse en temps réel tous les chemins possibles et choisit le plus rapide, même s'il est physiquement plus long. C'est comme Waze, mais pour vos paquets de données.
Nexus : le réseau qui change tout
Lancé en 2022 et perfectionné en 2026, Surfshark Nexus repose sur le Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Vous ne vous connectez plus à un serveur isolé, mais à tout le réseau en même temps. Votre trafic est routé dynamiquement à travers 4 500+ serveurs dans 100 pays.
Ça permet de bien faire certains trucs comme :
- Rotation d'IP : votre IP change toutes les 5 à 10 minutes sans coupure. Les sites vous voient comme un nouvel utilisateur à chaque fois.
- Multi IP : une IP différente pour chaque site que vous visitez. Votre banque vous voit à Paris, Netflix à New York, Reddit à Tokyo. En même temps.
- Dynamic MultiHop : vous choisissez votre entrée et votre sortie dans le réseau. Suisse → Japon ? Pas de souci.
- Everlink : si le serveur tombe, Nexus bascule automatiquement sur un autre. Vous ne remarquez même pas la coupure.
Scam Text Protection : l'IA qui mange les arnaques par SMS
En août 2026, Surfshark a lancé une protection anti-arnaque SMS basée sur l'IA. Elle scanne vos SMS entrants, détecte les arnaques (smishing), et sur iOS, déplace automatiquement les messages suspects dans le dossier Spam. Sur Android, vous recevez une alerte avant d'ouvrir le message. 35% du phishing mondial passe par SMS maintenant. Surfshark vous protège avant que vous ne cliquiez comme un débile sur le lien.
Le reste de la panoplie (celle que je vous rabâche souvent) est bien entendu toujours intacte :
- CleanWeb : bloque les pubs, trackers et malwares au niveau DNS
- Kill Switch : coupe internet si le VPN tombe, pas de fuite d'IP
- Mode Camouflage : fait passer votre trafic VPN pour du HTTPS normal, votre FAI ne sait même pas que vous utilisez un VPN
- NoBorders : s'active automatiquement dans les pays qui bloquent les VPN (Chine, Iran, Russie...)
- Alternative ID : génère des identités complètes (nom, email, tel virtuel) pour vos inscriptions
- Bypasser : split tunneling, vous choisissez quelles apps passent par le VPN
Toujours cet été, Surfshark a reçu le PCMag Editor's Choice award. Quand les mecs de PCMag, qui testent des VPN toute la journée, disent que t'es dans le top, c'est que t'as quelque chose de solide. La politique no-logs est auditée par Deloitte. Les serveurs sont 100% RAM-only, un reboot et tout s'efface. Même si les feds débarquent avec un mandat, y'a rien à saisir (enfin ça on verra le jour où la situation se présente). De plus les vitesses sont excellentes.
Bot ou pas bot ?
Parce que c'est la fin d'été et qu'il faut s'amuser encore une fois, Surfshark s'est amusé à créer un petit test de détection avec les étudiants de l'université de Malmö. Et le résultat est flippant, presque la moitié des gens ne distinguent pas un bot d'un vrai humain.
Les jeunes, eux, s'en sortent mieux. Jusqu'à 20 ans, ils repèrent 65% des bots. Mais passé la quarantaine ? Paf, ça tombe à 42% (ouf ça fait mal). C'est-à-dire que votre tante sur Facebook a presque une chance sur deux de tomber dans le panneau d'un compte fake. Et le pire, c'est que les sujets émotionnels rendent tout le monde con : sur un sujet neutre comme les data centers, les gens trouvent 71% des bots. Mais dès qu'on parle de sujets qui touchent une corde sensible, la détection s'effondre à 49%.
Morale de l'histoire : quand ça vous énerve, vous cliquez avant de réfléchir. Si vous voulez tester votre propre crédulité, Surfshark propose le challenge " Bot or Not? ". Bon courage, vous en aurez besoin.
Combien ça coûte, cette folie ?
Alors accrochez-vous, parce que les tarifs sont toujours assez délirants. En ce moment, Surfshark propose son abonnement Starter à 2,49 € HT par mois pour 27 mois (24 mois + 3 offerts), soit 67,23 € HT (80,68€ TTC) facturés en une seule fois.
Faites le calcul : moins de 3 € par mois, divisé par le nombre illimité d'appareils que vous pouvez connecter. C'est littéralement moins cher qu'une pizza surgelée dégueulasse par mois. Et meilleur pour votre santé. Pour protéger votre téléphone, votre laptop, votre tablette, votre Smart TV, votre Fire Stick, votre Xbox, votre routeur, et celui de votre tante qui habite à 300 km. Tout le monde est couvert.
Les formules supérieures :
- One : 2,99 €/mois pour ajouter l'antivirus, Alert (surveillance de fuites), et Alternative ID
- One+ : 4,49 €/mois (toujours sur 27 mois) ajoute Incogni (suppression de données chez les brokers)
Surfshark n'est plus juste un VPN pas cher. C'est un VPN qui vous laisse connecter autant d'appareils que vous voulez avec un seul abonnement. Tout votre parc informatique perso, celui de votre mère, de votre frère, de votre coloc et du pote qui squatte votre canapé. Au fil du temps c'est même devenu une plateforme de sécurité numérique complète qui trône fièrement sur mon podium des meilleurs VPN du moment .
Arrêtez de vous prendre la tête. Un abonnement. Une infinité d'appareils. Et la paix. Si vous devez chiffrer pour tout le monde, autant le faire à prix cassé.
J'économise 85% sur Surfshark VPN !

Big John Solomon Expose!!!! He’s Covering Up Trump’s Egypt Corruption!
Reply source
Yesterday, John Solomon conducted another of his Russian propaganda exercises, this time claiming to release newly declassified versions of:- The 302 from Mike Flynn’s January 24, 2017 interview
- Joe Pientka’s notes from the interview
- Peter Strzok’s notes from the interview
Solomon waved his hands around squealing that the notes did not match the 302 — just as Sidney Powell squealed that the notes did not match the 302 back in 2019, before Judge Emmet Sullivan wrote a 99-page opinion laying out that Powell was wrong in key respects and anyway none of it undermined the evidence that Mike Flynn lied in that interview.
But what’s really nutty about yesterday’s little propaganda escapade is, no, John, you actually didn’t release newly declassified documents, or not much, anyway. The only substantively new declassification in the documents is this passage in Strzok’s notes, which seems to reflect what they knew going in; they’re summaries of what they knew Flynn actually said on his calls with Sergey Kislyak (and would have been classified in 2019 when these notes were first released because they were FISA content); the still-redacted word, as we’ll see, is almost certainly “Egypt.”
In reality, there’s actually more new redactions than in the earlier released versions of these documents:
- 302 from Mike Flynn interview released on June 6, 2019
- Combined interview notes released May 7, 2020
(If you’ve been around a while you might remember that DOJ confused who wrote which notes in 2020, when they released these, and I had to straighten them out; just one of the services I provide!)
Mike Flynn was warned Russia would try to cultivate him
One set of new redactions serves to cover up details of Flynn’s trip to the RT gala in December 2015. In both Pientka’s notes,
The earlier released documents showed Flynn saying he took Mike Flynn Jr with him to meet with Sergey Kislyak before his Russian trip and that he got a DIA threat briefing before the trip.
But in both the Pientka notes released yesterday,
And the 302 released yesterday,
Those references are redacted.
I’ve got my own theory why John Solomon and Kash Patel wanted to cover those up.
The Egyptian side to Trump’s Russian corruption
I’ve got stronger theories about why they’re covering up references to Egypt in these documents.
The earlier released Pientka notes,
All describe that “FLYNN heard through other channels that Egypt did not like” their own resolution to condemn settlers in the West Bank, and that Egypt delayed the vote themselves. These are references to Trump’s efforts — directed by Jared Kushner — to prevent or delay Egypt’s resolution condemning illegal settlements in the West Bank, a frantic effort involving a bunch of countries to undermine the foreign policy of the United States government.
After Flynn had, earlier in the interview, given a false claim about how many calls he had with Kislyak, the FBI agents asked him if there was a call in which Flynn had asked for Russian help to stall the vote, Flynn basically said, oh yeah!!! there was another call!!! but Flynn explained, nope, there was no request to Russia to help stall the vote, Egypt decided that on its own.
Flynn’s answer was a lie to cover up that:
- A request was made that Russia help Trump kill or delay the vote.
- After that request was made on December 22, Putin was consulted and chose to play ball.
- The other channel via which they learned Egypt’s plans was in a request directly to Abdel Fattah El-Sisi directly.
Flynn is pretending that Egypt just decided to kill their own resolution themselves. It was an insanely stupid claim, but he thought he’d get away with it and, really, he has.
In the Pientka notes released yesterday,
The Strzok notes,
Those references to Egypt have been covered up.
Here, per the intercepts released in 2020, is part of what Flynn and Kislyak actually said in a conversation on December 23, 2016.
Let me unpack this.
First, as noted, this is the December 23 transcript. As Kislyak makes clear, there was an earlier call — the day before — and this call was his response. When John Ratcliffe released this in 2020, he didn’t actually release the December 22 transcript. I’ve got my theories why he didn’t. But it is clear from context that a request had been made (at that point, Flynn and Trump were in the same place, Mar-a-Lago) on that earlier call, that Kislyak had consulted with “the highest level in Russia” — that is, Putin — and that Kislyak was conveying to Flynn that Russia was going to play ball with Trump’s effort to prevent a condemnation of illegal Israeli settlements. The “slow down” reference in the notes appears to be a quote from the earlier call, the one we don’t get.
Then there’s the hilarious part, what a fucking chump Flynn was here. Kislyak probes, hinting that he knows Egypt, who originally proposed the resolution, is not pushing for a vote. And Flynn says, Yep, we’ve been talking to them too. Then Kislyak probes, “there might be others.” And Flynn freely offers up that Trump has been talking to “a litany of countries.”
Flynn just blabbed and blabbed and blabbed, like a teenage girl gossiping, telling Russia the extent of efforts to undermine Barack Obama’s foreign policy, precisely the kind of knowledge that gives another country leverage over you. It’s bad, terrible; but imagine how much worse Steve Witkoff is when he corrupts with the Russians.
Again, Flynn’s explanation made absolutely no sense, because it was Egypt’s resolution in the first place! But Flynn was trying to cover up the separate call to el-Sisi.
And now, in turn, John Solomon is trying to sustain that cover up, which is pretty interesting given the long-running bribery investigation into whether el-Sisi gave Trump a $10 million bribe that Bill Barr finally shut down in the same period he was blowing up the Mike Flynn prosecution.
Solomon and whoever made these dumbass redaction decisions are attempting, again, to lie about how this all went down.
And it is just as dumb an effort as Flynn’s original lie because these documents are all right here and we can all read you’re trying to cover up Egypt’s role in all this.

US citizens will receive $5,000 if Republicans win midterms, Trump claims in lengthy convention speech
Reply sourcePresident makes offer that would cost US over $1tn and asks voters to ‘pretend that I’m on the ballot’ despite being deeply unpopular among electorate
Donald Trump pledged to pay every adult citizen in the US $5,000 if Republicans retain the House and Senate in the midterm elections, during a marathon speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas in which the president assailed Democrats as “radical” and defended his unpopular war in Iran.
The outlandish proposal, which would cost over $1tn, immediately raised ethical concerns. But it laid bare the extent of the Republicans’ concern about their prospects in the pivotal November elections.

Election officials preparing for possible federal ballot seizures, Trump’s oil investments gaining millions during the Iran war, and his immigration crackdown sweeping up legal immigrants and tearing apart families are among today’s top stories.
Today at a Glance
Trump’s oil and gas investments gained millions during the Iran war as his accounts continued trading energy stocks.
Election officials and judges are preparing for the possibility of federal agents seizing ballots or election equipment during the midterms.
Trump officials proposed excluding millions of immigrants from the 2030 census, potentially reshaping congressional representation and federal funding.
What We Need to Pay Attention To
Ballot seizures seemed impossible. But judges and officials are prepping for them now
What Happened: Election officials and judges are preparing for the possibility that federal agents could seek warrants to seize ballots or voting equipment during the midterms. One state has already held three statewide trainings, while election law experts issued guidance for judges on how to handle such requests.
Why It Matters: We are weeks from the midterms and election officials are training for the unprecedented possibility of federal agents showing up and seizing ballots or voting machines. This will throw counting into chaos, break the chain of custody and threaten certification which is exactly what Trump wants to achieve.

Trump’s oil investments have gained millions during Iran war as his accounts keep trading
What Happened: Trump’s nine largest disclosed oil and gas holdings gained an estimated $1.5 million to $4.4 million between the eve of the Iran war and August 31. His accounts continued trading energy stocks during the war, including on days when his decisions moved oil markets.
Why It Matters: Trump has millions invested in oil and gas while making decisions about a war that directly affects energy prices and the value of those investments. Even with outside managers controlling the trades, he is profiting from an industry directly affected by his decisions.

Ballots discounted for late postmarks surged in Washington and Oregon after Postal Service changes
What Happened: More than 20,000 ballots in Washington and 7,314 in Oregon were thrown out for late postmarks during this year’s primaries, even though many voters mailed them on time. Postal Service changes are delaying when some mail gets postmarked, with rural communities hit especially hard.

Election Officials Grapple With Uncertainty as Supreme Court Considers Mail Ballot Plan
What Happened: With the midterms just weeks away, election officials still don’t know what mail ballot rules they will need to follow. The Supreme Court is considering whether to allow Trump’s new restrictions to take effect, even as some states have already mailed ballots and the federal system needed to implement the rules is not yet ready.
Why It Matters: This is part of Trump’s broader agenda to seize control over elections. Election officials from both parties warn the changes will disenfranchise voters, and Utah officials have called implementing them this late an “unmitigated disaster.”

Weaponization of Institutions
Here’s How the Postal Service Could Refuse to Deliver Your Mail Ballot
What Happened: Trump’s mail voting plan would require the Postal Service to screen ballots before delivering them to voters. States would have to submit voter lists to a new federal portal and use approved envelopes with barcodes that match those records. If they don’t, entire batches of ballots could be sent back instead of delivered. Two dozen states are challenging the plan.
Why It Matters: Trump’s plan would allow the Postal Service to stop ballots from reaching Americans, giving the federal government a new role in deciding whose ballots get delivered.

ICE Sends Legal Immigrant to Guantánamo Bay
What Happened: ICE sent Adam Abdullah, a Somali asylum seeker who was living legally in Minnesota and has no criminal record, to Guantánamo Bay after arresting him during a traffic stop. Abdullah had a work permit and Social Security number and regularly checked in with ICE. He says authorities never explained why he was targeted. MPR independently confirms those core facts.
Why It Matters: Abdullah was living legally in America, followed immigration rules and has no criminal record. Now he is being held at Guantánamo with limited access to his lawyer, without knowing why he was targeted.

A generation of kids suffers as Trump destabilizes immigrant families
What Happened: An estimated 205,000 children have had a parent detained by immigration authorities since Trump returned to office, including roughly 145,000 U.S. citizen children. Some have been left with relatives or neighbors, missed school or medical care, and now live with the fear that a parent could be taken away.

He showed up for a routine green card appointment. Then ICE detained him.
What Happened: ICE arrested Douglas Sura Cruz when he showed up for a routine green card interview with his U.S. citizen wife. Cruz had lived in the U.S. for 11 years, has two U.S. citizen children and no criminal record. A federal judge ruled that holding him without a bond hearing violated federal law and his constitutional due process rights, ordering the government to give him a hearing or release him.

Citing the ‘Deep State,’ Trump overhauls the intelligence community
What Happened: Trump has removed career officials and cut offices across the U.S. intelligence community, part of his campaign against what he calls the ‘deep state.’ Former intelligence officials say the changes are costing agencies experienced people and damaging intelligence sharing and relationships with U.S. allies.
Why It Matters: The point of the intelligence community is to give a president an honest assessment of all threats. This reminds me of Russia, where Putin is surrounded by loyalists who afraid to tell him the truth.

Trump administration proposes dropping huge swath of immigrants from US census
What Happened: Trump officials want the 2030 census to count only U.S. citizens and permanent residents. That would leave out undocumented immigrants as well as millions of people who are legally living in the country on temporary status. They also want to remove questions about race and ethnicity.
Why It Matters: The census determines congressional representation and federal funding. Excluding millions of residents would shift both, even though the Constitution requires House seats to be based on the “whole number of persons” in each state.

Iran is forging a new ring of proxies to threaten US allies in the Gulf, officials say
What Happened: Iran is coordinating the Houthis in Yemen with Iran-backed militias in Iraq to attack Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies in the Gulf. Officials say Houthi operatives helped Iraqi militias plan July drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities, while the Houthis have carried out more than a dozen attacks on Saudi oil facilities and tankers since late July.
Why It Matters: Iran is bringing its proxies together across the region, making it easier to strike U.S. allies, oil facilities and shipping routes from multiple countries at once.

Trump says he had “great conversation” with Putin, but Putin and Zelenskyy “hate each other”
What Happened: Trump said he had a “great conversation” with Putin and again insisted that Putin wants a deal to end the war. He blamed the lack of an agreement on Putin and Zelenskyy “hating” each other.
Why It Matters: Trump continues to provide cover for Putin and Russia’s genocidal invasion. Russia invaded sovereign Ukraine, and Putin can end the war by withdrawing his forces. Framing the aggressor and the country defending itself as equally responsible normalizes Russia’s genocide and invasion.

The officials established a roadmap to increase Mongolian defense spending over five years and discussed enhancing military capabilities, expanding exercises, and strengthening Mongolia’s defense industrial base. DASW Smith characterized Mongolia’s “Strategic Third Neighbor Partnership” as vital and recognized the nation’s contributions to the Board of Peace and the Haiti Gang Suppression Force.
The Department of War announced multiple contracts, including a $4.8 billion award to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. for Common Infrared Countermeasures and a $74.7 million award to Conti Federal Services LLC for a B-21 program hangar at Whiteman Air Force Base.

Remarks by Undersecretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group
Undersecretary Elbridge Colby stated that European allies are assuming a leading role in conventional defense and support for Ukraine, a transition he described as “producing tangible results.” Emphasizing a “denial defense” strategy, Colby urged Europe to sustain support for Ukraine while accelerating rearmament and reindustrialization to prepare for a “protracted conflict.” He noted that while the Department of War “cannot predict when this tragic war will end,” the United States remains committed to supporting allies through initiatives like PURL and JUMPSTART.
Department of Health and Human Services (hhs.gov)
HHS announced four senior FDA appointments to prioritize innovation, health security, and medicine access. Jared Seehafer was named Deputy Commissioner for Technology and Artificial Intelligence.

Treasury Grounds Iranian Airlines with Sweeping Sanctions Action
On September 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned 36 targets for supporting Iran’s aviation sector under Operation Economic Outcast. The action includes sanctioning all remaining Iranian airlines and targeting front companies and intermediaries. Additionally, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued an alert for financial institutions regarding aviation procurement networks. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent stated that the action aims to “sever the economic lifelines that sustain the Iranian regime.”
United States Trade Representative (ustr.gov)
Ambassador Jamieson Greer stated that President Trump used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to ban certain Canadian products and modify July 20 tariff actions. Ambassador Greer characterized Canada’s choice to “embark on senseless retaliation against the United States” as the reason for these measures. President Trump also directed the USTR and GSA to remove $50 billion of Canadian-origin products from GSA Multiple Award Schedules. The administration stated these actions aim to defend American workers and “restore reciprocity in our bilateral trade relationships.”

Trump says he would consider pardon for former attorney Michael Cohen
Reply sourceCohen has not personally asked Trump for a pardon, but he submitted an application to the White House after his request was denied by the Biden administration
Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would consider pardoning Michael Cohen, the former fixer whom he once branded a “rat” for testifying against him in court and before Congress, but with whom he has recently staged a stunning public reconciliation.
Asked by a reporter whether he would grant Cohen’s appeal for presidential clemency, Trump said: “If everything is checking out, it’s something I would consider.”

Rassemblement en soutien aux sous-locataires de Joivy jeudi 10 septembre 8h30 devant le tribunal judiciaire !
Reply source
Le modèle du coliving est une reprise de l'idée de colocation par des entreprises privées qui découpent des appartements pour les louer chambre par chambre en augmentant considérablement les prix, et en y ajoutant divers suppléments pour augmenter toujours plus leurs profits.
Ces abus systématiques sont possibles par l'utilisation d'une zone grise juridique : la dégradation du statut des locataires en sous-locataires. Ce changement de statut fait perdre des droits aux habitant·es : l'encadrement de loyers n'est pas respecté, les charges ne sont plus contrôlées par les locataires, le choix des colocataires est réservé à l'entreprise...
Depuis octobre 2025, des locataires de l'entreprise JOIVY se mobilisent pour protester contre ces abus et se sont mis en grève des loyers. Cette grève a apporté de nombreuses victoires aux sous-locataires parmi lesquelles :
respect de l'encadrement des loyers et remboursement des trop perçus
choix des nouveaux colocataires
arrêt des intrusions dans les appartements
reprise en main des charges par les locatairesLe 10 septembre, un procès a lieu pour la re-valorisation du statut des sous-locataires en locataires. Soyons rassemblés pour faire de ce moment un événement politique, et exprimer clairement notre opposition à ce modèle !
Locataires en coliving, venez nous rencontrer, vos droits ne sont pas respectés, luttons ensemble pour qu'ils le soient !

Soutien à Autistici/Inventati, hébergeur désigné comme « terroriste » par l'administration Trump
Reply source
La Quadrature du Net, comme d'autres organisations , est signataire d'une lettre ouverte publiée sur Sabot Media dénonçant la répression dont est victime Autistici/Inventati , hébergeur associatif italien, de la part du gouvernement états-unien. Nous republions cette lettre traduite en français par la communauté CHATONS.org .
En tant qu'organisation de défense des droits humains et numériques, La Quadrature du Net apporte tout son soutien au collectif Autistici/Inventati. Vous pouvez retrouver la lettre originale sur le site de Sabot Media .
Le 26 août 2026, les États-Unis ont désigné le collectif numérique italien Autistici/Inventati comme « Specially Designated Global Terrorist » (Terroristes internationaux) et l'ont ajouté à la liste d'organisations placées sous sanctions états-uniennes appelée « Specially Designated Nationals list », sous l'ordre exécutif 13224. Les organisations états-uniennes en lien avec Autistici/Inventati (banques, fournisseurs…) bénéficient d'une autorisation temporaire de mener à bien les transactions déjà engagées avec A/I avant cette classification. Cette autorisation prend fin le 25 septembre 2026 à 00h01 à l'heure de Washington. Après cette date limite, les relations devront être suspendues, sous peine de sanctions.
Autistici/Inventati héberge depuis 2001 des services en ligne non marchands : email, sites web, listes d'email, la plateforme Noblogs, et autres moyens de communication. L'organisation émerge de hackerspaces italiens, de médias autonomes et de mouvements sociaux. Son infrastructure est construite en réponse à la censure, à la surveillance furtive et aux saisies de serveurs. Elle minimise les données personnelles, utilise des systèmes distribués et traite la confidentialité comme un bien commun nécessaire à la participation politique plutôt que comme un produit.
L'annonce publique des États-Unis pointe des organisations qui sont censées avoir utilisé l'infrastructure d'A/I. Elle ne montre pas qu'A/I a planifié les actions citées, choisi des cibles, dirigé ses utilisateurs et utilisatrices ou créé le contenu hébergé. Cette annonce soulève une question qui va bien plus loin que la question du collectif A/I : est-ce que le fait de maintenir une infrastructure dédiée à des communications confidentielles de mouvements défavorisés, peut lui-même être traité comme du terrorisme ?
Cette théorie met en danger les hébergeurs indépendants, les services de communication chiffrés, les librairies radicales, les archives des mouvements sociaux, les éditeurs et les petits projets bénévoles, partout dans le monde. Elle encourage les banques, les registraires de noms de domaine, les entreprises d'hébergement à couper tout accord immédiatement, et à poser les questions juridiques ensuite. Elle transforme la minimisation de la collecte des données en quelque chose de suspect, la confidentialité en dissimulation, et l'infrastructure en culpabilité par association.
Les grandes plateformes numériques commerciales sont habituellement distinguées du discours et du comportement de leurs utilisateurs et utilisatrices par un principe de responsabilité limitée, en tant qu'intermédiaires. Ces protections ne sont pas absolues et ne permettent pas de déroger à la loi sur les sanctions. C'est précisément pour cela que cette annonce est si lourde de conséquences : le pouvoir de sanction de l'exécutif états-unien peut imposer une isolation économique sans qu'un tribunal ait jugé si un hébergeur est légalement responsable du contenu tiers.
Autistici/Inventati n'est pas neutre politiquement, tout comme les bibliothèques, syndicats, hébergeurs et associations de défense des libertés individuelles qui pourraient signer cette lettre. Mais l'affinité politique est distincte d'un contrôle opérationnel. Fournir un compte d'email, une plateforme de publication ou un serveur n'est pas la même chose que de planifier tout ce qu'un utilisateur ou une utilisatrice pourrait ensuite faire ou dire.
Nous appelons donc à :
La révocation immédiate de cette classification, ou son réexamen rapide et transparent, accompagné de la publication de la base factuelle et légale sur laquelle s'appuie cette décision. Cette transparence doit être suffisante pour une analyse et une contestation publiques.
Une distinction claire entre la fourniture d'infrastructure de communication et la direction des agissements de ses utilisateurs et utilisatrices.
La confidentialité, le chiffrement, le pseudonymat et le refus de conserver des données identifiantes ne doivent pas être traités comme des preuves d'activité ou d'intention terroriste.
Une protection pour l'investigation, la recherche, l'archivage et le plaidoyer indépendants.
Les journalistes, les bibliothèques, les chercheurs et chercheuses et les archivistes communautaires devraient être en capacité de documenter cette affaire sans être traités comme des parties intégrantes de l'entité désignée.
La résistance à la sur-conformité des institutions.
Les banques, les registraires, les hébergeurs, les fournisseurs de certifications et les entreprises des NTIC devraient rendre publiques les restrictions auxquelles elles sont soumises, notifier leurs contraintes légales chaque fois que c'est permis, et éviter de détruire de l'information ou des relations au-delà de ce que la loi requiert réellement.
Une réponse publique de la part des institutions qui défendent les libertés numériques, la liberté d'expression et les libertés individuelles.
Garder le silence, ce serait permettre la création d'un précédent sur le ciblage des infrastructures autonomes.
Nous n'attendons pas de chaque signataire qu'il ou elle cautionne toute publication ou position politique d'A/I, ou de ses utilisateurs et utilisatrices. Nous attendons des signataires qu'ils et elles défendent une distinction structurelle : l'infrastructure de communication n'est pas la même chose que les discours ou agissements qui transitent à travers elle.
Le but de la classification économique, c'est l'isolation. Notre réponse est une solidarité indépendante, informée et disciplinée. Nous voulons préserver les archives publiques, analyser les allégations du gouvernement états-unien, résister à la sur-conformité et défendre la capacité des mouvements à communiquer sans se soumettre à la surveillance des entreprises ou des États.

Perspectives anarchistes et travail du sexe
Qu'est-ce qui relie le vaste monde du travail du sexe à la galaxie anarchiste ? Existe-t-il une convergence entre ces deux thématiques ? Qu'est-ce que les anarchistes peuvent apprendre des travailleureuses du sexe (TdS) et qu'est-ce que les travailleureuses du sexe peuvent apprendre des anarchistes ?
Ces questions et d'autres sont explorées par notre nouvelle publication « illégale élégance - perspectives anarchistes et travail du sexe ». Récit à la première personne de 10 ans d'expérience anarchiste du travail du sexe, accompagné de 13 contributions supplémentaires provenant de France, Allemagne, Maroc, Suisse, Afrique du Sud, Canada et Italie, toutes réalisées par des personnes anarchistes et travailleureuses du sexe. Ce sont des expériences personnelles, uniques, intimes, philosophiques et corporelles de certaines facettes du travail du sexe drapées dans différentes perspectives critiques envers toutes formes d'autorités.
L'idée de cette publication n'est pas de parler au nom des TdS, ni de parler au nom des anarchistes. Face à deux mondes aussi vastes, cette démarche n'aurait aucun sens. C'est un récit entièrement subjectif à travers lequel chaque lécteurice est invité.x.e à ressortir avec son propre avis. Les réflexions présentées ici sont pensées pour être des tremplins et non des cages.
À travers cela, nous espérons rafraîchir le débat en cours et offrir des esquives et perspectives intéressantes face à des positions souvent binaires, voire assez stériles (le travail du sexe c'est bien, le travail du sexe c'est mal… fin du débat).

Face aux attaques fascistes récentes, rassemblement jeudi 10 septembre
Reply source
🏠🏠🏠
MANIFESTATION JEUDI 10 SEPTEMBRE 18h
Arrêt de tram ChâteauDepuis plus d'un an, il y a dans Brest une augmentation d'attaques et d'agressions aux revendications fascistes. Ce week-end, le niveau de violence est monté d'un cran quand deux personnes cagoulées, armées de matraques et gazeuses, sont entrées par effraction dans un bâtiment squatté et s'en sont pris à une personne endormie, la laissant gravement blessée. En portant leurs coups aux cris de « sale antifa », ils ont été clairs sur leurs motivations.
Il semble évident que cette agression était préméditée, que du repérage ait été fait dans ce but. D'autres effractions ont eu lieu durant l'été, des agressions de rue, intimidations dans le quartier de St-Martin, tags, etc. Cet événement lache et violent s'inscrit dans une dynamique de terreur qui vise à détruire mentalement et physiquement des personnes précaires, pour la seule raison qu'elles dorment dans un squat, et pour leur appartenance politique supposée. N'étant pas isolée, cette agression nous concernent toustes.
Parce que nous refusons le bruit des bottes dans nos quartiers, parce qu'après la rue ils s'en prennent à nos lieux de vie, parce que nous refusons que nos voisin.es ou quiconque ailleurs puissent être victimes de telles violences, parce que nous voulons pouvoir dormir sur nos deux oreilles ; pour les personnes racisées, sexisées et vulnérables qu'ils mettent en danger, nous appelons à un rassemblement à l'arrêt de tram Château le 10 septembre à 18h.
Des squatteur.euses de Brest.

Le socialisme sauvage : essai sur l'auto-organisation et la démocratie directe dans les luttes de 1789 à nos jours
Reply source
Son but est de relire l'histoire révolutionnaire non depuis l'angle traditionnel et confus de « la révolution contre les bourgeois/les aristocrates » - qui fait comme si la révolution était un bloc - mais depuis un axe fondamental souvent oublié : celui des divers courants libertaires contre les tendances autoritaires du socialisme.
On regrettera certains défauts importants, qu'il est bon d'avoir en tête en parcourant le bouquin. Notamment le fait que les luttes abordées sont très majoritairement des luttes blanches. Ou que l'angle pris fait souvent la part belle aux figures et organisations militantes officielles - là où il serait intéressant de se concentrer un peu plus sur l'action et l'organisation directes du prolétariat.
Ces points étant dits, ce livre apporte de nombreuses informations historiques importantes, souvent effacées de l'histoire des luttes. Il permet ainsi, de façon méthodique et détaillée, de remettre plusieurs points sur les i concernant la question de l'autoritarisme. C'est une chose qui nous semble plus qu'utile à l'heure où la sociale-démocratie reprend du galon, sous ses divers avatars réformistes et léninistes, menaçant de récupérer les luttes à venir.
Bonne lecture !

100 personnes mobilisées à Angers pour le dernier rassemblement d'août
Reply source
La lecture a été donnée du dernier communiqué national : « Assez de paroles ! Il faut des actes, des sanctions pour mettre fin à la violence coloniale ! ».
L'AFPS a salué la présence d'amis libanais venus s'associer au rassemblement avec leurs drapeaux. Un autre moment fort fut l'intervention de Jacques-Marie Bourget qui, alors qu'il était en reportage pour Paris-Match, le 21 octobre 2000, avait été victime d'une tentative d'assassinat par l'armée d'occupation et blessé au poumon. Très applaudi, il nous a dit sa satisfaction d'avoir été, après un long combat judiciaire, reconnu comme victime par la Cour d'Appel de Paris en septembre 2015, ouvrant un droit à indemnisation.
Cela a conforté les militant.e.s dans la certitude qu'il ne faut jamais, jamais, rien lâcher dans le combat. Le rassemblement s'est terminé par la lecture d'un poème en arabe et en français, pour célébrer la vie malgré tout. https://www.france-palestine.org/IM... <https://www.france-palestine.org/lo...>

Trump Tyranny Tracker | Day 593: Sept. 8, 2026
Reply source
Voters cast their ballots at the Copland Center in Wyandotte, Michigan on Aug. 4. Photographer: Finn Gomez/Getty ImagesHi Friends…
After more than a year of publishing the Tracker every day, I took a few weeks off to catch up with life and am back now. I also included several important stories at the end of this tracker from the weeks I was away that are worth keeping on the record.
Welcome to today’s Trump Tyranny Tracker…
Expanded surveillance of Americans, increased federal involvement in the midterms, and intensified efforts to silence dissent inside and outside the government are among today’s top stories.
Today at a Glance
DHS is using Americans’ financial data to secretly identify people for police stops.
ICE plans to build a national database of Americans’ voting histories ahead of the midterms.
Hegseth subjected dozens of military officers and officials to unprecedented polygraph tests in its hunt for leaks.
What We Need to Pay Attention To
A Secretive DHS ‘Predictive Policing’ Unit is Analyzing Americans’ Financial Habits and Pulling Them Over
What Happened: Border Patrol is operating secretive “predictive policing” units that analyze Americans’ financial activity and other data, then flag people for local police to pull over even when they are not suspected of a specific crime.
Why It Matters: The government is secretly mining Americans’ financial data to decide who should be stopped by police without evidence they committed a crime. This is what a surveillance state looks like when the data it collects starts being used against ordinary people.

Corruption
Witkoff Reports $107 Million From Entity That Held Crypto Stake
What Happened: Trump’s shady envoy Steve Witkoff reported earning $107 million in 2025 from a holding company that owned his stake in World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture he cofounded with Trump and their families. His disclosure does not reveal how much of that income came from the crypto business.

No SEC Probe of Trump Crypto Deal Despite Alleged “Illegality”
What Happened: The SEC told the Project On Government Oversight it could not find any records of an investigation into Alt5 Sigma, now AI Financial, after its deal with Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial generated an estimated $500 million for the Trump family. A shareholder lawsuit alleged “illegality” and “unjust enrichment,” while separate complaints accused Alt5 of withholding material information from investors before its stock collapsed by more than 90%.
Why It Matters: Trump’s family made an estimated $500 million from the deal, while the federal regulator responsible for protecting investors apparently did nothing. This is naked corruption as the Trump’s family profits while the agency meant to police these deals looks the other way.

Power Consolidation
Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Allow Voter-Screening Tool
What Happened: Trump asked the Supreme Court to let states use an expanded DHS citizenship database to screen voter rolls ahead of the midterms. A lower court blocked the system amid challenges over privacy protections and erroneous citizenship determinations.
Why It Matters: Trump is using lies of widespread voter fraud to justify expanding federal power over elections. Now he wants states to use a federal database that has wrongly flagged U.S. citizens to determine who belongs on voter rolls.

New grand jury subpoenas in investigation targeting Trump-Russia probe
What Happened: The Justice Department is issuing grand jury subpoenas to former government officials in an investigation seeking evidence that intelligence officials conspired against Trump over the 2016 Russia probe. Former CIA Director John Brennan has been told he is a target.
Why It Matters: Trump’s DOJ is using a criminal investigation to pursue the officials involved in investigating Russia’s attack on the 2016 election. Years after multiple investigations, his regime is still trying to turn the Russia investigation into a criminal conspiracy against Trump.

DOJ election monitors in two New Hampshire cities for Tuesday’s state primary
What Happened: The Justice Department deployed Civil Rights Division staff to monitor polling sites in Manchester and Nashua during New Hampshire’s primary, the latest in a series of federal monitoring operations during state primaries. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the department will now begin ramping up preparations for nationwide monitoring during the November midterms.

DHS Brings PATRIOT Act Tool to Bear in NSPM-7 Investigation
What Happened: Homeland Security used a PATRIOT Act tool to identify financial institutions holding accounts linked to groups swept into an investigation of anti-ICE protests, including unions and climate organizations, without first obtaining a warrant or subpoena. The tool requires investigators to certify that the inquiry concerns money laundering or terrorism.
Why It Matters: A surveillance tool created after 9/11 to investigate terrorism and money laundering is now being used to map the financial networks of domestic political groups, without a warrant or subpoena.
Source: Talking Points Memo
ICE Plans to Pay $5 Million to Create National Voting Database
What Happened: ICE plans to spend up to $5 million collecting voter registration and voting history data nationwide for fraud investigations, with the capability to obtain records from all 50 states.
Why It Matters: An immigration enforcement agency is building the capability to collect voter registration and voting history records from all 50 states just weeks before the midterms. This is part of Trump’s broader effort to seize control of elections.

Pentagon imposes polygraph tests on military officers as Hegseth’s culture of fear grows
What Happened: Pentagon investigators subjected roughly 50 Joint Staff officers and civilian employees to polygraph tests as part of a leak investigation focused on reports that the Iran war has depleted critical U.S. munitions, including long range missiles and Patriot interceptors. The NYT reported that mass polygraph testing at this level of the military is unprecedented.
Why It Matters: The Pentagon is subjecting military officers to an unprecedented polygraph dragnet to find out who told the public about critical U.S. weapons shortages. Instead of addressing what the Iran war is doing to military readiness, Hegseth is hunting the people sounding the alarm.

Flock Taught Cops How to Surveil No Kings Protesters
What Happened: Flock Safety taught police how to use its surveillance network to monitor No Kings protests in real-time, combining license plate readers, cameras, drones and law enforcement databases. The company used a No Kings protest as an example while demonstrating how officers could watch demonstrators move through a city without police physically following them.

Pentagon Reportedly Using Medical Records to Identify Transgender Troops
What Happened: The Pentagon is using military medical and personnel records to identify service members with current or past gender dysphoria so they can begin removing them from the military. Advocates estimate several hundred troops have been flagged through electronic health records in the past two months.
Why It Matters: The Pentagon is searching troops’ private medical records to identify people it wants to remove from the military. Service members who sought medical care are now having that information used to target their careers.

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs worth CA$27.6 billion take effect as trade rift with U.S. deepens
What Happened: Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs of 15% to 50% on CA$27.6 billion worth of U.S. goods, including steel, aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment and electronics. The measures match U.S. tariffs imposed by Trump on CA$27.6 billion in Canadian goods after trade negotiations collapsed.
Why It Matters: Trump’s trade war with Canada is becoming an escalating cycle of retaliation. American businesses and consumers will pay the price through higher costs, disrupted supply chains and lost trade with one of our largest economic partners.

The Guardian view on Donald Trump’s oil deal: Venezuela pays for his vanity | Editorial
Reply sourceThe US president seized a nation’s natural wealth in a modern-day version of gunboat diplomacy to feed his ego – not to lower Americans’ fuel bills
Imperialism does not require a flag to be planted or a governor dispatched. It can be a powerful nation deciding who governs a smaller, weaker country, and on what terms and for whose benefit its resources will be developed. Donald Trump’s kidnapping of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, putting his deputy – Delcy Rodríguez – in his place as president, and then her signing a deal handing a fifth of the country’s proven oil reserves to the US, amount to a modern version of 19th-century gunboat diplomacy. Regime change supplied America’s commercial concession.
This won’t bother Mr Trump. But it should. The US president has oversold his neocolonial spoils. The additional production Venezuela is supposed to bring online might bring down oil prices eventually, but not anytime soon. Crucially, what Mr Trump calls “the biggest oil deal in history” won’t cause the price at the pump to fall before November’s midterms. When so many American voters are struggling to pay energy bills, it’s hard to see how unrealised Orinoco Belt riches are going to help Republican candidates.

Affaire Patrick Bruel : comment l’accumulation de plaintes pourrait écarter certaines prescriptions
Reply source
Source :
Etiqe :
Contenu :
Depuis sa mise en examen, le 10 juin 2026, Patrick Bruel est visé par de nouvelles plaintes pour violences sexistes et sexuelles. Si certains faits dénoncés apparaissent a priori prescrits, l’accumulation de plaintes pourrait permettre d’écarter certaines prescriptions.
Des plaintes qui ne cessent de s’accumuler. Le 10 juin 2026, Patrick Bruel a été mis en examen dans quatre dossiers pour viol, tentative de viol, agression sexuelle et harcèlement sexuel. Il a également été placé sous le statut de témoin assisté dans quatre autres affaires d’infractions sexuelles.
Depuis, de nouvelles plaintes ont été déposées. Au total, ce sont plus de 30 femmes qui accusent le chanteur d’infractions sexuelles sur une période s’étalant de 1991 à 2019.
Patrick Bruel, qui bénéficie de la présomption d’innocence, a, quant à lui, réfuté « toute accusation de viol » et plus largement toutes « les allégations de violence, de brutalité ou de contrainte », assurant n’avoir « jamais outrepassé un refus », rapporte Mediapart.
Parmi les plaintes déposées, certains faits dénoncés sont anciens. Mais s’ils paraissent d’ores et déjà prescrits, certains mécanismes juridiques pourraient changer la donne. Selon l’avocate Myriam Guedj-Benayoun, qui défend plusieurs plaignantes dans cette affaire, « il est permis par le code pénal de travailler sur la sérialité des faits et la connexité des faits, qui [font] que certaines prescriptions vont pouvoir être levées », avançait-elle au micro de France Inter, le 19 août dernier. Explications.
Un délai de prescription doublé
Pour mieux comprendre, reprenons depuis le début. En France, comme dans d’autres pays, il existe le délai de prescription. Concrètement, au bout d’un certain temps, il n’est plus possible de poursuivre une personne pour une infraction qu’elle aurait commise : l’action publique est dite « éteinte ».
Ces dernières années, de nombreuses réformes se sont succédé pour allonger ce délai de prescription en matière délictuelle et criminelle, et notamment dans le cadre de violences sexuelles sur mineurs. Depuis le 1er mars 2017, le délai de prescription s’élève ainsi à six ans pour les délits et à vingt pour les crimes – contre trois et dix ans auparavant.
C’est donc en raison de celui-ci que certaines des plaintes à l’encontre de Patrick Bruel sont a priori considérées comme prescrites et ne pourraient en théorie pas faire l’objet de potentielles poursuites. À titre d’exemple, les faits dénoncés de viol qui auraient été commis en 1991 ne pourraient de prime abord pas faire l’objet d’une condamnation car, au vu du délai de prescription de l’époque, l’infraction serait prescrite depuis 2001.
Des exceptions pour les victimes mineures
Mais ces délais connaissent également plusieurs exceptions qui visent à allonger le délai de prescription dans certaines situations. Par exemple, en 2018, une loi est venue l’étendre en matière de viol sur mineur. Désormais, le délai de prescription s’enclenche à partir de la majorité de la victime et dure trente ans. Concrètement, toute personne victime de viol durant sa minorité peut porter plainte jusqu’à ses 48 ans.
Mais ce n’est pas tout. Le législateur est allé plus loin en créant la prescription dite « glissante ». Depuis 2021, si l’auteur présumé d’un viol sur mineur en commet un nouveau avant que le premier soit prescrit, celui-ci bénéficie du délai de prescription du dernier viol en date.
Si, dans l’affaire Patrick Bruel, plusieurs femmes ont porté plainte pour des faits qui auraient été commis durant leur minorité, ce n’est pas le cas de toutes les plaignantes.
Connexité et sérialité
En plus de ces exceptions prévues dans le cadre de crime sexuel sur mineur, il existe également un mécanisme dont certains pensent qu’il pourrait être utilisé dans le cas particulier des viols dits « sériels » commis sur des personnes majeures.
En 2005, dans une affaire d’abus de faiblesses, la chambre criminelle de la Cour de cassation avait considéré que « dès lors que les faits procèdent d’un mode opératoire unique » et que « l’ensemble a gravement préjudicié à la victime », les différents faits sont liés les uns aux autres et bénéficient de la non-prescription de la dernière infraction en date. Reste que dans ce cas précis, les faits étaient commis sur une seule personne.
Depuis, cette jurisprudence a été étendue à des infractions de nature sexuelle. Ainsi, en juillet 2022, lors de la condamnation du « violeur de la Sambre », une « connexité » entre les différentes violences sexuelles avait été retenue en raison du « comportement d’agresseur en série » de Dino Scala, et d’un « même mode opératoire ».
Par ailleurs, un mois plus tôt, toujours en raison de ces notions de sérialité et connexité, la chambre de l’instruction de Versailles avait ordonné que, dans l’affaire PPDA, l’information judiciaire porte désormais « sur l’ensemble des faits » dont la plaignante Florence Porcel se dit victime, incluant ceux, prescrits, de 2004.
Un même mode opératoire
Au vu des nombreuses plaintes déposées dans l’affaire Patrick Bruel, l’avocate Myriam Guedj-Benayoun espère donc faire valoir l’existence d’une sérialité et d’une connexité entre les différentes infractions dénoncées. Si celles-ci étaient reconnues, cela permettrait à certains faits considérés en théorie comme prescrits d’être poursuivis.
Néanmoins la chose n’est pas aisée. Tout d’abord, à la différence de la prescription glissante, le fait qu’il s’agisse d’un même auteur présumé – soit Patrick Bruel – ne suffit pas nécessairement.
La loi dispose ainsi que les infractions sont connexes lorsqu’elles « ont été commises en même temps par plusieurs personnes réunies, soit lorsqu’elles ont été commises par différentes personnes, même en différents temps et en divers lieux, mais par suite d’un concert formé à l’avance entre elles, soit lorsque les coupables ont commis les unes pour se procurer les moyens de commettre les autres, pour en faciliter, pour en consommer l’exécution ou pour en assurer l’impunité […] ».
Il existe également des situations dans lesquelles c’est la jurisprudence qui considère que des infractions sont connexes. En 2000, la Cour de cassation a ainsi jugé – dans une affaire de faits d’atteintes sexuelles aggravées – que « les dispositions de l’article 203 du Code de procédure pénale n’étant pas limitatives, elles s’étendent aux cas dans lesquels il existe entre les faits des rapports étroits, analogues à ceux que la loi a spécialement prévu ».
Dans cette affaire, la Cour de cassation a admis que des infractions pouvaient être connexes lorsqu’elles étaient commises par une même personne.
Pour d’autres affaires, il faut prouver l’existence de cette connexité par l’existence notamment d’un même mode opératoire ou de mêmes profils de victimes. Par exemple, dans l’affaire qui vise le chanteur, il pourrait être retenu que plusieurs plaignantes ont affirmé que Patrick Bruel leur aurait demandé de venir le rejoindre directement dans sa chambre, que celles-ci étaient jeunes ou venaient à peine d’entrer dans l’industrie culturelle.
Une prescription qui doit être interrompue
Le 19 août dernier, au micro de France inter, l’avocate Myriam Guedj-Benayoun avançait, quant à elle, que l’ « on retrouve à nouveau le même mode opératoire, on est dans le monde du spectacle, elle est approchée, invitée à une soirée et finalement à cette soirée, elle sera seule avec Patrick Bruel et c’est là qu’elle va dire qu’elle est victime de tentative de viol ». Cette démonstration juridique doit ensuite être répétée à chaque infraction.
De plus, un calendrier bien précis doit être respecté. Un délai de prescription n’est pas linéaire. Comme le prévoit l’article 9-2 du Code de procédure pénale, il peut être interrompu pour différentes raisons, comme lorsque sont émis des actes d’enquête ou d’instruction (une audition, une perquisition, une réquisition judiciaire ou un interrogatoire mené par un juge d’instruction).
Or, à la différence de la prescription glissante, il ne suffit pas qu’un même auteur ait commis de nouveau les mêmes faits pour pouvoir allonger le délai de prescription. La connexité ne peut interrompre ce dernier que si certains actes ont été réalisés avant la fin du délai de prescription.
Calculs et multiples paramètres
Enfin, la sérialité et la connexité de certains faits ne peuvent ressusciter une prescription. Ainsi, si le délai de prescription d’une infraction est écoulé avant qu’un acte d’enquête soit réalisé dans le cadre d’une deuxième infraction, la première ne peut pas bénéficier du délai de la seconde.
Dans la même logique, lorsque, en 2017, les délais de prescription ont été allongés, ceux qui étaient terminés avant l’entrée en vigueur de la réforme n’ont pu être étendus. En effet, l’article 112-2 du Code pénal précise bien que ces nouvelles durées sont « applicables immédiatement à la répression des infractions commises avant leur entrée en vigueur […] lorsque les prescriptions ne sont pas acquises ».
Ainsi, dans l’affaire Patrick Bruel, pour déterminer si les infractions sont connexes, les juges vont devoir prendre en compte cette multiplicité de paramètres. Et c’est pour cette raison que plus les plaintes s’accumulent, plus il y a de chances que la justice trouve une connexité permettant d’écarter certaines prescriptions.

Robotique humanoïde : Après l’entrée en Bourse mitigée d’Unitree, la Chine serre la vis pour les start-up qui voudraient faire de même
Reply sourceAssiste-t-on à l’éclatement d’une bulle spéculative de la robotique humanoïde ? La rengaine revient souvent, en particulier depuis l’entrée en Bourse du chinois Unitree à Shanghai le mois dernier. Le titre a certes bondi de 460% lors de la première séance, le 19 août, mais a brusquement chuté dès le lendemain. Il s’établit désormais à 513 yuans (65,8 euros), soit un recul de 39% par rapport à son pic initial.
