#billc22 — Public Fediverse posts

Got a response from "the office of" my member of parliament regarding my concerns about #BillC22 and it was really disappointing.

I decided to take a deep breath before responding. It's pretty clear that the Liberal Party of Canada is going to do whatever it wants to do, and working Canadians couldn't be a lower priority.

I think all that elbows up talk is about ensuring the Canadian investment class can still prosper no matter what happens south of the border.

🏠🔥 PSA for EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE 🔥🏠

Scammers and attackers are targeting the utilities we all rely upon. Your bank and phone provider are the front doors.

NEVER tell anyone who your bank or phone provider is. They are the two weakest points anyone needs to drain you dry. And if robbed, your providers will shrug shoulders.

We have every right to complain about the few choices we have. But the moment you name your bank or phone provider online, scammers are listening and prodding.

Every country has its own version of this problem. For Canadians, Bill C-22 is a tool for law enforcement, not for you. It will not get your money back.

An authenticator app is annoying until the day it saves everything you have.

I've worked for phone companies, and have friends who work for banks, it's kept quiet how fragile the system is. We must protect ourselves, individually. 🔒

PS. If you often leave for a summer home, know that scammers count on you being off the grid and unreachable. Plan accordingly.

After running a small-time, non-federated #XMPP server for 2.5 years (#prosody), I've decided to decommission it.

What I loved about it was the ability to make the attachment sizes large - 100MB - then it allowed a nice long-format "video memo pen-pal" experience with my friends. We would video ourselves for a few minutes, checking in with each other and expressing how we're doing. It was a spiritual exercise: how was our meditation going lately? What were we meditating on, as an object of meditation? That 100MB attachment size allowed up to 9ish minute video memos, as long as the video-recording  resolution was turned down from the too-high default.

Now that #Canada is intent on rushing #BillC22 through, not caring what the #infosec experts have to say - they've pretty much made the decision for me, to use a #Deltachat server instead. This is to get a Canadian server on Canadian soil, with the ability to conveniently switch servers (add another "relay", in case one disappears). #DataSovereignty #ElbowsUp

With #XMPP, the encryption is unfortunately optional, and even downright problematic in group chats. #Deltachat succeeded in making the E2E encryption required and automatic. A step up, which today's politics all but required. #OpenSource

Canada’s Bill C-22 is advancing toward a vote with provisions for metadata retention, expanded data sharing, and government-mandated encryption backdoors. 🔒
Signal, Apple, Google, and VPN providers oppose the bill, warning it could limit features or services and weaken private communications. ⚖️

I really hope that the Senate sends C22 back to the house but I'm not confident.

Quote:
"Bill C-22 is dangerous on multiple levels.
It pushes for requirements for metadata retention, expands information sharing with foreign governments, and establishes a mechanism that allows Canada's Ministry of Public Safety to demand that companies create backdoors, effectively breaking encryption.
That mechanism was a key facet of Part 2 in Bill C-22, and the government prevented it from being independently debated."

"Google says changes to Canada's police search powers bill haven't eased concerns"
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/google-says-changes-to-canadas-police-search-powers-bill-havent-eased-concerns

The article seems to do a poor job explaining a few things.

Bill C22 is not obvious on decryption:

My intpretation: if the service provider has the means to decrypt the data then the provider can be forced to decrypt the data.

@PhoenixSerenity Honestly I think something that would be very valuable over the summer is folk in your position bridging this issue to activist communities that care about other causes.

Our bread and butter is non-partisan pro-privacy and expression work. But is #BillC22 an issue for environmental activists? Victims of cyber-stalking by exes? Any marginalized community that fears state persecution?

Yes, yes, and yes. But that message comes most credibly from those embedded in those groups.

@avilewis We need to force these clearly corrupt and bought politicians to actually stand up for Canadian citizens and not just have them roll over for the American tech oligarchs!

I received no response from my MP when I wrote in multiple times. They clearly are not working for the people anymore.

#BillC22 update: the bill has passed House with minimal fixes. The House and Senate have both gone on break for the summer.

🇨🇦 Senate will pick #BillC22 up for hopefully lengthy study on September 28.

That means 3 months to mobilize and force REAL fixes. Follow us for next steps soon! #canpoli

Paragraph (2)(d) mentions a meta data period not to exceed six months.

Does (4.1) imply that this period could be extended?

IDK

A privacy lawyer would be much better qualified to answer that question than me.

Just another example of what is not specified in Bill C22 that is a problem.

A lawyer really needs to explain Bill C22 (in the third reading form) so that people can understand the implications.

IMO Bill C22 is a freaking sh*t-show.

Please keep in mind that I am not a lawyer.

IMO that section implies that they can enforce a VPN provider
to decrypt a stream [of bytes].

A VPN service encrypts the traffic (or stream) between a user's computing device and the VPN service (where some type of proxy server is found).
The VPN provider requires public/private keys to encrypt/decrypt the stream to at least direct a user request to the desired web page.
If the spooks had access to those keys then the stream could in theory be compromised so that some type of log could be maintained.

If the spooks had access to the keys then in theory a bad actor, breaking into the spy gear, might be able to obtain access.
IMO there is not way to prevent a "systematic vunerability" from happening.

This vunerability would depend on how the VPN service was set up and could be different for each VPM provider.

This is an example of something that is not specified in Bill C22 but has massive implications to all Canadians.

Many VPN providers have stated that they will not comply.
Does this mean that the spooks will start blocking any VPN that does not comply?

BTW the term "construed" can not in any way shape or form be compared to the legal term "shall not".

Ask a lawyer if "construed" is a weasel word.

Here is the third and final reading (2026-6-18) of Bill C22 before it is sent to the Senate.
https://www.parl.ca/Content/Bills/451/Government/C-22/C-22_3/C-22_3.PDF

I'm not a lawyer but there are still some very concerning things in the bill.
Doubtful that much has changed other than a few cosmetic things.

This time around it is the things that are not specified in the bill that concern me the most.

Someone needs to present a detailed clause-by-clause analysis of the bill.
Perhaps @OpenMediaOrg or @mgeist will prepare some documents over the next few weeks?

The House has risen for the summer and should return in about 13 weeks time.

I do not expect the Senate to start review of the bill before September but that could change on short notice.

My big concern is that the Senate will not understand all of the implications of what is in and not in the bill and under time pressure will pass C22.

I know it is a big ask but over the next few weeks people need to prepare documents that Senators can understand so that bill at least gets a more detailed review than the ram-through process used by the gov.

A massive email campaign to the Senators will be required if C22 is to be stopped before it becomes law.
Be advised that a charter challenge could take some time. Bill C22 could inflict a considerable amount of damage before that point.

FWIW I was impressed by the actions of the opposition to ammend the bill.
E May even had an opportunity to speak to the committee last night.

IMO the LINOs should be ashamed of themselves for not protecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
