Did they really classify Twitter as an "organised crime group"? Because that does seem a bit farfetched.
I have no proof but I suspect it is a mistranslation. The French legal term "bande organisée" literally means "organized crime group" but is simply the French counterpart to criminal conspiracy. That is to say, they are suspected not merely of breaking the law but also of having done so as a collective that knowingly planned for it.
