Just read the manifest.

GP used intentionally hostile and weird interpretation of "if you intend to subdue, enslave or kill, don't use it", aimed at dictatorships, organisations like Palantir, etc.

What? If I'm in a militia group that resists oppressive governments, I intend to kill people. Therefore I'm not allowed to use Reticulum to coordinate with my mates, even though most people would agree that I'm not killing immorally.

They’d only agree in the abstract. As soon as you name the oppressive regime you’re fighting against, suddenly a huge chunk of those people will come up with reasons to no longer support you.
