Here's a link to the letter
#OpenMedia "Civil Society to Parliament: Kill Bill C-22"
https://openmedia.org/press/item/civil-society-to-parliament-kill-bill-c-22

Quote: "Today's letter sounds the alarm on sweeping new powers in Bill C-22 that would let the government force any digital service - telecoms, messaging apps, cloud services, AI tools, even "smart" devices - to record and retain up to a full year of detailed metadata on every person in Canada and abroad, including physical location data and who they interact with online."

Anyone who is concerned can add their name to this campaign (please do)

to have a letter sent to their MP.

I recommend following @OpenMediaOrg

In 2012 the push-back from many Canadians was enough to convince PMSH to kill bill C30 (similar in nature to Bill C22)

A surveilled society is not free.
Resistance is not futile!

Cool contract alert! 📢

OpenMedia is hiring a 3-month contractor for an urgent project to win Canadians real privacy rights from federal political parties.

This is a chance to grow a national coalition for privacy reform before the next federal election and before generative AI further impacts democratic trust.

https://action.openmedia.org/page/187832/action/1 "Protect Canadian democracy: Sunset Bill C-4!
Every day, ordinary Canadians navigate a digital world where our personal habits are constantly tracked and used to surveil and manipulate us. We rely on privacy laws for protection. Yet, federal political parties are using Bill C-4 to exempt themselves from the laws everyone else follows, bound by no rules other than their own self-written privacy policies. In the age of AI, that is a massive threat to the health of our democracy.1

The Senate has offered the House a compromise: a three-year sunset clause for C-4, during which they could create real, enforceable privacy rules for political parties.2 But with less than a week until the House decides, rumours suggest MPs will reject the deal."

Just did my presentation on #imquic, my attempt at working on a QUIC library for real-time media, so #roq (RTP Over QUIC) and #moq, in #openmedia. Seemed well received, so I'm happy! You can find the slides at the link below, where a recording will also pop up soon in case you missed it
