Re: Lawful Access articles - collectionFreedom is not free, free men are not equal, and equal men are not free.
The government is not very interested in your freedom, they are quite satisfied with your obedience. And we are on our way to lots more of that relating to copyrights and the Internet in the omnibus crime bill coming to a parliament near you this fall...

said by elwoodblues:The problem is the core constituency runs around saying if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
The Goverment will ignore all this trust me, and it won't resonate with the majority of the public (who have the same mentality as above), not realizing their rights are being unsurped.
If this goes through it will make it's way to the SCC, but by then Harper may have appointed more "like minded" Justices.
Think of the children, those unscrupulous pedophiles leering at naked little children don't you want them and the websites off the net? (I do,but I'm sure they have less the "public" methods of obtaining their materials).
Or even terrorists, we to know when someone is looking a bomb making sites.
The spin machine with unlimited dollars (your tax dollars at work) will be bigger, bolder and more widespread then a few Youtube videos(sorry Milnoc) made for Openmedia.
Just this week alone, the opposition, in light of the problems in Europe wanted a economic update, and the government having the majority , shut down any independent depositions. so lets put cameras in your bedroom, bathroom and your house and hey lets put devices in you to make sure you do as we say not as we do. FACT is EVERYONE gets CREEPED OUT when they are overly watched. THIS is what a warrant is supposed to be about , are you acting suspiciously NO..move along. FACT is if harper dont scrap the prison crap and the jets were on a course like italy and greece. NUFF said. ---------------- CBC also reported yesterday that the omnibus bill does not contain the lawful access legislation .... |

What does it matter if law enforcement has access to ip logs without a warrant when ISP keep logs for 5+ years as it is right now which is ridiculous. If they have any type of reasonable doubt they will get the warrant anyway. |

This bit... "Moreover, based on the prior bill, it will establish a comprehensive regulatory structure for Internet providers that would mandate their assistance with testing their surveillance capabilities and disclosing the names of all employees who may be involved in interceptions (and who may then be subject to RCMP background checks)." Just hire employees who can't pass an RCMP background check, then no assistance can be given. |

Here's another little beauty about changes to PIPEDA » www.parl.gc.ca/LegisInfo ··· 5&Mode=1(12) Section 7 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3): Lawful authority (3.1) For greater certainty, for the purpose of paragraph (3)(c.1) (a) lawful authority refers to lawful authority other than -- (i) a subpoena or warrant issued, or an order made, by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or -- (ii) rules of court relating to the production of records; and (b) the organization that discloses the personal information is not required to verify the validity of the lawful authority identified by the government institution or the part of a government institution. Paragraph 7(3)(c.1) of the Act is amended by striking out or at the end of subparagraph (ii) and by adding the following after subparagraph (iii): ......., or (v) the disclosure is requested for the purpose of performing policing services that are not referred to in subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iv); ----------------------- 7(3)(c.1)(v) is a loophole big enough to drive a Challenger jet with Peter MacKay on-board through -- if it were me being asked to produce anything, I'd be demanding written verification, otherwise it might just be a cop in the service of a political party or a fed with a grudge against somebody .----------------------- » www.huffingtonpost.ca/20 ··· 027.htmlBut what has privacy experts worried is a new provision that allows organizations to hand over personal information about individuals to law enforcement and private investigators without a warrant. And, when the law enforcement agency requests it, the organization can be forbidden from notifying the individual in question that their information has been passed on. Its that secrecy clause that has some privacy experts comparing the PIPEDA amendment to the USA Patriot Act, a massive law passed with little debate in the wake of the 9/11 attacks that civil liberties advocates have criticized as being a major expansion of the U.S. governments ability to spy on private citizens. "This particular amendment appears to create a provision similar to those in the USA Patriot Act," Vincent Gogolek, executive director of the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, told CBC. He described the bill as containing some real dangers. --------------------- » www.marketwatch.com/stor ··· 11-09-29Proposed amendments would make it clear that organizations may collaborate with government institutions, such as law enforcement and security agencies that have requested personal information, in the absence of a warrant, subpoena, or order. |

Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner call out the Public Safety Ministers' and Harpers' lies on "lawful access" » www.nationalpost.com/new ··· ory.htmlI must correct the inaccuracies in Minister Vic Toews' letter.
The proposed surveillance bills will capture information that bears little resemblance to "phone book information." The public does not have access to this information, nor should they - it goes far beyond address and phone number. Consider just one of the new threats to our fundamental freedoms: police could force telecoms to provide the name, address and unique device number of people (enabling online tracking) who posted comments on newspapers' websites under pseudonyms - without a warrant, without explanation and in secret. This should only be accessible through a courtordered, judicial warrant. This is unacceptable: 88 pages of new powers, without matching judicial safeguards.
One of the many complexities glossed over, the government's surveillance capacity, risks transforming telecoms into agents of the state. Much of our online activity is an extension of our in-home personal life. Everyone wants to stop child predators, but responding to this by eroding our online privacy illustrates a dated zero-sum mentality. Subjecting innocent individuals to unwarranted surveillance can have devastating consequences. Properly designed powers can assist law enforcement and also respect the rights of ordinary Canadians - we must have both. We must resist any further erosion of our fundamental freedoms and liberty.
Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner, Ontario. Will he reply, or run and hide and pretend not to have seen anything? |

(Or perhaps defer all questions to Tony Clement who will then defer to John Baird). For those who do not realise it, politicians's expertise in spying is limited to what they have seen in "24", "Spooks" or "James Bond". and they don't realise that accessing anyone's data isn't just pressing a button and all of a sudden you get to see all their traffic.

If [some of these] small ISPs need to spend $1 million to be compliant
that could mean the end of them. Sandiford, who is also president of Toronto-based Telnet, said he saw the legislation as excessive, and cited his own ISP's cooperation with police investigations as evidence the current system is working. Weve co-operated with law enforcement many, many times over the years, he said, but if the cost of co-operation skyrockets, whos going to compensate us for this? |
