Canadian government Doubles Down in Defending Bill C-2’s Information Demand Powers That Open the Door to Warrantless Access of Personal Information - https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2025/09/government-doubles-down-in-defending-bill-c-2s-information-demand-powers-that-open-the-door-to-warrantless-access-of-personal-information/ #canada #surveillance
Michael Geist · Government Doubles Down in Defending Bill C-2’s Information Demand Powers That Open the Door to Warrantless Access of Personal Information - Michael GeistThe return of the House of Commons from the summer break brings with it a resumption of debate on government bills. Topping the list this week is Bill C-2, the omnibus border measures bill, that buries dangerous lawful access provisions that open the door to warrantless access to personal information and increased surveillance capabilities in Canadian networks. I wrote multiple posts on the privacy concerns before the summer (here, here, here, here, here, and here), expressing concern not only with the substantive provisions but also with a bill that combines everything from border measures to restrictions on cash transactions to warrantless access for law enforcement to personal information. The risk is that no issue will get sufficient attention as major issues get lost among the myriad of disparate provisions. For that reason, the lawful access provisions in Parts 14 and 15 in the bill should be removed and contained, if at all, within a separate bill.

From John Unsworth, just-retired dean of libraries at U of Virginia:

"21st-century fascism is not just about governing through force. It’s also about surveillance. It’s about AI in the service of fascism, as a tool of surveillance. It’s about dismembering the public sector…It’s about systematically erasing history, including data and primary source materials. This is foundational, for fascism —to distort the record or obscure it or simply deprive people of public data so that there is no independent source of fact. We’re seeing that right now. We’re also going to see more intimidation of individuals, more anti-union work, more anti-intellectualism, more loyalty tests."

Americans: EU’s #ChatControl law will force apps to scan encrypted chats before encryption, violating privacy for all, worldwide.
Error-prone scans mean innocent users end up blacklisted, with data shared globally onto blacklists you’ll never escape. Good luck proving your innocence abroad...
500+ experts warn: this sets a global surveillance precedent.

For months now, whispers have turned into a roar 
about a certain EU proposal. At first, it sounds like a noble cause - protecting children from harm online 
Who could argue with that?
But this is no ordinary mission. This is the turning point 
A moment where the digital realm risks falling into a shadow 
A plan that demands all our private conversations be scanned 
No suspicion. No crime. No reason. Just everyone. All the time 
Imagine a system powerful enough to scan every message, every image, every whisper - on every device, for every person 
It doesn't need physical access or a noisy presence. It runs silently in the background, all the time
It was created to protect But its effectiveness is uncertain, and privacy is seriously compromised 
Instead of focusing on real threats, it treats everyone the same - as if risk came from simply being online
A digital weapon built before anyone can understand its consequences 
Like a Death Star - not made of kyber, but of code 
Created in the name of safety, but capable of something far more dangerous 
Officially, this proposal is called CSAR (Child Sexual Abuse Regulation) 
, but most of us know it as ChatControl 
And that's no accident - the latter name more accurately reflects what this system really is and the consequences it brings
If passed, it will mark the end of private digital communication in the EU 
And if it happens here, it can happen anywhere 
Because what is accepted in one democracy can quickly become the norm in others. Europe often sets the standards others follow 
And the world is watching 
This proposal changes the rules 
It weakens encryption 
, the very foundation of secure communication. When encryption is weakened, every message becomes vulnerable to interception 
, and privacy is no longer guaranteed. When privacy disappears, democracy crumbles with it 
The consequences do not end there - surveillance will become part of daily life , and control over our digital world will only grow stronger.
I was born into a free internet I want to die in one too 
This proposal breaks fundamental rights 
:
- the right to private communication (Article 7)
- the right to data protection (Article 8) 
- the presumption of innocence
- the principle of proportionality
This is not a debate over ideology 
This is a matter of principle 
To the @EUCommission: I know your intentions are good 
But history does not judge intentions. It judges consequences 
You want to protect people But you may end up building something that will be used to control them 
Don't build a machine you yourselves would fear 
You will not be remembered for good intentions - but for what you leave behind 
Think about how it will affect us all. Choose security, not surveillance. This is your moment 
Don't waste it.
To everyone else: You don't have to be from Europe to care 
When harmful laws pass without resistance - the impact is felt everywhere 
We are citizens of one digital world And in that world, staying silent comes at the highest cost 
Freedom does not die loudly. It disappears - quietly - unless we stop it
