Fresh off of the passage of the budget, it seems that there is renewed interest of pushing a police state.

Gov't officials just surprised many by apparently calling for the revival of #LawfulAccess measures from #billc2. Here's my take on it, with some corrections/clarifications of some pretty problematic statements from gov't officials.
CSIS “Surprised” That Warrantless Wiretapping Would Receive Pushback
Canadians have pushed back against warrantless wiretapping for over 20 years now. This was apparently news to CSIS.

Liberals: We Are Demanding Warrantless Wiretapping Because Fentanyl
The Liberal party wants law enforcement to spy on everything you do without pesky oversight? Why? Because Fentanyl.

Canadian Government Buries "Lawful Access" Provisions in New Border Bill
#HackerNews #CanadianGovernment #LawfulAccess #PrivacyBorderBill #DigitalRights
My (incomplete) notes from the @fnf keynote speech by @ella from @edri at the #FreedomNotFear opening
Brief look back:
The EU parliament voted for a ban on #biometricSurveillance. The resulting law is not all that great
#Chatcontrol remains blocked not least because of amazing work done on the national level. We did change some minds.
Outlook:
We have to fight tooth and nail to defend #GDPR and #DSA. The latter is under attack by right-wing extremists.
We need to defend social rights.
Right-wing extremists form the third-largest faction of the EP. The cordon sanitaire has crumbled.
#FortressEurope, electronic #borderControl
human rights defenders are at risk
#lawfulAccess is a phantasy of some law enforcement agencies who want to do away with #encryption. Experts agree that weakening or circumventing encryption would damage IT security beyond repair.
Keep an eye on the #DigitalFairnessAct that is coming up.
We might not have a progressive majority any more in the European Parliament. But we can still change minds. We have freedom not fear.

@Mer__edith I'll just throw this into the discussion for about the hundredth time...
#Encryption is #math.
There is no math that "the good guys" can do but which cannot be done by "the bad guys".
"Responsible encryption" and "lawful access" are bullshit phrases meant to convince you to give up your #privacy willingly.
Resist. Demand end-to-end encryption, in *everything*.
Now can we get that through to the politicians somehow?
I've said this before, but...
#Encryption is #math .
There is no math that "the good guys" can do but which "the bad guys" cannot do.
"Responsible encryption" and "lawful access" are #lies designed to get you to give up your #privacy willingly.
#Refuse to do this. #Demand end-to-end encryption in *everything*.
Others have said this, but I'll give it a shot.
"#Responsible encryption" doesn't exist.
"#Lawful access" doesn't exist.
#Encryption is #math. There is no math that can be done by "the good guys" but cannot be done by "the bad guys".
Anyone who tells you you can have #privacy while still allowing the #government or anyone else #LawfulAccess is #lying to you.
They are trying to get you to give up your #privacy. #Resist them. Demand end-to-end encryption.
Canadian Government Seeking to Resurrect the Lawful Access Debate (Warrantless Wiretapping)
The Lawful Access debate could soon rear its ugly head again in Canada. This was buried in a money laundering consultation.
There are a lot of things I hoped I would never see discussed in the media ever

The Return of Lawful Access? Supreme Court to Decide if Warrant is Needed for IP Address
The seemingly dead debate surrounding lawful access is potentially making a return with a case currently before the Supreme Court.
When law enforcement suspects unlawful activity, do they need a war
