C22 is a perfect example of why clueless politicians should have zero ability to impact privacy. If the pigs can't do their job without breaking encryption then too fucking bad.

    Who talked these dumb shit boomer MP's into installing back doors in everything?

    How could they possibly think this won't cause problems?

    And tools that people use to protect themselves.

    It will also expose Canadians to a higher surface area of data breaches. Which in turn will mean Canadians will most likely be exposed to more scams and fraud.

    What's moronic about this is that it won't stop criminals. They'll just move over to a different platform that is more secure.

    But everyday Canadians' privacy will pay the price because backdoors now exist for bad actors (both law enforcement nutjobs and criminals) to use against us

    Carney was probably given a secret option to either enslave Canadians himself or let the Trump admin do it...

    THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS A PUPPET TO CORPORATE INTERESTS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN

    Wages are depressed by a litany of loopholes provided to businesses. ISPs and cell providers are allowed to run effective monopolies in order to gouge Canadians. Grocery stores are allowed to conspire together to raise prices. Hosing prices are kept high by corporate landlords. Electrification is being delayed and fucking BILLIONS are being spend subsidizing oil and gas.

    This is just another example of Canada saying "Yes, we will fuck Canadian citizens for as long and hard corporations tell us." And the best part is, both of our two and a half parties are onboard with this.

    If you need a VPN, use Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en They are not the cheapest but they are the most privacy focused provider I have found.

    I know the Lemmy Canada Blog is where I go to determine the truth of the matter... I hate that I have to ask myself, "ESL and miscommunicating, nutjob, or AI?"
