The bill would also compel service providers to retain the metadata of its users for six months.

    The federal liberal government is cracking on crypto ATMs instead of targeting the scam ones and VPNs on the official Canada Gov website.

    Other than the bills below:

    c-22 by Gary Anandasangaree. Will introduce 6 month metadata retention for service providers and provide the CSIS with subscriber information.

    s-209 by Julie Miville-Dechêne. Will introduce age verification.

    c-34 by Marc Miller. Second way to introduce age verification. Yes that guy who called privacy critics of c-22 tinfoil hats.

Attendants were also happy to learn about the project rename, which is great news!
