๐จ๐ฆ Canada's Bill C-2 just joined a disturbing global pattern.
Dubbed the "Strong Borders Act," Bill C-2 gives Canadian ministers sweeping power to issue secret orders forcing any electronic service provider (from telecoms to encrypted messaging apps) to grant government access to private communications. The bill could force companies to build "technical capabilities" for surveillance, potentially creating backdoors into end-to-end encryption.
Sound familiar? It should.
