Rules for thee, but not for me

"Americans are currently experiencing negative side effects". Oh, no! Really? Has your house been obliterated by bombing? Do you still have water, electricity, a roof over your head? Do YOU, idiomaddict, know how you're going to feed your children tonight??

Really? Where did you get that story? You might want to read real news: (https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/bc-ag-seeks-criminal-code-change-after-tumbler-ridge-ai-chat-report/) (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/mother-jones-chatgpt-safeguards-tumbler-ridge-bc-shooter-9.7358031) (https://globalnews.ca/news/11676795/tumbler-ridge-school-shooter-chatgpt-account-flagged-banned-openai/)

So, someone please educate me here. Doesn't law enforcement already have access to digital information during investigations? I think companies already retain metadata, even if they say they don't. And, wouldn't it be like any investigation where you would need a court order to get that information?

Bill C-22, formally the Lawful Access Act, 2026, is a proposed Canadian federal law about giving police and intelligence agencies access to digital information during investigations. It would update rules for obtaining subscriber information and other data, and require some service providers to support lawful access requests. Parliament of Canada

The bill is controversial because critics say its provisions could expand surveillance, require companies to retain certain metadata, and pressure providers to make their systems accessible to authorities—potentially weakening encryption. The government presents it as a way to help law enforcement investigate serious crimes.

The shooter had used ChatGPT in conversations involving gun violence and plans for the attack. OpenAI's safety systems reportedly flagged the account months before the shooting. According to B.C.'s allegations, OpenAI's own safety personnel considered the activity serious enough to recommend contacting law enforcement. Instead, the account was deactivated, but the shooter was allegedly able to create another account and continue using ChatGPT. B.C. argues that OpenAI should have notified police and taken stronger steps to prevent continued access.

This is not a landline issue. This is a ChatGPT issue. There were tragic consequences.

They need a national shutdown. But that might mean no social media for a while... so, yah, no.
