Wasn’t the TGV sabotage attack also targeted at the fiber-optics lines? Wouldn’t be surprised if they were related.
Or maybe these people just really dislike fiber-optics, and are in the pockets of big copper /j

I don’t usually watch the Olympics but all this viral advertising is making me reconsider.

Yea… I’d still recommend against it. As hilarious as it is watching Christians get pissed off about art the whole thing is run by the IOC and they’re a bunch of corrupt assholes.

And that is putting it mildly.
