Canadians: Let's help fight costly and invasive mandatory internet surveillance. - General

Zeke, I'm pretty sure Shaw and Telus can go ahead with UBB even before the CRTC hearing, as that hearing is specifically about UBB on wholesale internet service, not residential internet service. I'm pretty sure that they'll unfortunately be instating their policies regardless of the hearing, due to the specificity of the kind of UBB the hearing is about.

Not Canadian, so I can`t sign it. However, this bill must be stopped at all costs, and the NDP opposition, while unable to block the CPC vote in parliament, should stand against this. The CPC is by far the worst major party in Canada with Liberals in second. NDP will be the saving grace here for any real parliamentary opposition, effective or otherwise.

We won the UBB fight in the sense that the government has stated that they won't let the CRTC allow them to do that. Shaw seems to have abandoned the idea altogether and I can see the other ISPs following suit since the smaller ISPs will have a much better deal if the large ones decide to go ahead with their original plan. The debate has always been over wholesale internet service.

Signed, though I'm Australian If it happens in one country, it'll happen in them all

Signed. It's like the conservatives want to shit all over the internet.

I signed it, but I'm American, not Canadian, and I used false information and an alt e-mail. Did I still help?

I just signed in. I wonder why you have to write down the address and postal code.

[QUOTE=lum1naire;30648130]signed fuck the system yo Well left wing in the matter that I don't think Quebec will be ever voting for conservatives considering the history behind it (which is dumb in a way) and plus I'm pretty sure Jack Layton promised a lot of things like support for separation if they wished and protecting their language rights and other shit so yea no surprise they voted NDP[/QUOTE] Jack Layton never pomised seperation, he doesn't support it at all. And protecting the french language is pretty useful though.

wow, damn bill -51

signed

[QUOTE=Zeke129;30626630]The bill would make it mandatory for telecom providers, ISPs and search engines to monitor, store, retain and [b]NOT[/b] disclose e-mail, Internet and telephone communications at the request of law and security officials.[/QUOTE] Hey OP, you wanna double check or explain your quote above? Doesn't really make sense. Or am I just being a dumbass and missing something obvious?

It means they have to do those things at the behest of law enforcement but not disclose that they're doing it to the customer.

I'd say it's absolutely worth it unless you're happy with Bell. They obviously really are tech savvy though, the routers they supply are WRT54GL's with DD-WRT on them. :v:

Signed. I can't believe we have to put up with another four years of crap like this.

singed. What a load of shit

america is so backward

[QUOTE=ThePutty;30653924]Signed, though I'm Australian If it happens in one country, it'll happen in them all[/QUOTE] Genius. And that is exactly true.

[QUOTE=abcpea2;30673805]america is so backward[/QUOTE] This is Canada.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;30676207]This is Canada.[/QUOTE] He was joking.

In Australia we are kinda losing the fight against censorship and internet privacy but I signed this petition so that (hopefully) it doesn't spread to other countries. Good luck Canadians!

Signed it.

[url=http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5885/125/]NDP MP Charlie Angus has sent a detailed letter to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews expressing concern about the return of lawful access legislation.[/url] [release]Of particular concern is Clause 16 of the former Bill C-52 allowing security services unrestricted access to any device identification data from an ISP or other telecommunications service provider without a warrant. This will allow law enforcement to identify individuals involved in a striking array of online activity including anonymous political opinions made in blog posts or newspaper comments, location data posted online from a smart phone, social networking activity, private online instant message or email exchanges, and a host of currently unforeseeable future online interactions that are sure to come with new innovations and services. This unrestricted access to e-mail addresses will make it possible to track individuals across a vast range of online services, activities, and even locations.[/release]

Signed, fuck Harper and his party of corporate cronies.

Signed

If this is implemented I'm wondering what it will do to network speeds. Our internet is already godawful compared to the rest of the developed world so will the infrastructure changes necessary to implement this level of surveillance introduce more latency? I assume it would require some form of deep packet inspection which is known to slow everything down, is it not?

Why are the ISP's not up in arms about this? They don't care what you look at on thier service, they dont want to spend extra to contribute to this, on top of everything else. Why is there no corporate pressure to end this

Here be another Redneck signing this petition! I hate internet surveillance. What is this, Nazi Computer Land Time?
