Canada’s C-22 bill is a surveillance overreach that paves the way to backdoor encrypted communications of users around the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/canadas-bill-c-22-repackaged-version-last-years-surveillance-nightmare

Canada’s Bill C-22 Is a Repackaged Version of Last Year’s Surveillance Nightmare

Last year, the Canadian government pushed Bill C-2, which would erode Canadian digital rights in the name of “border security.” The bill was so bad it didn’t even make it to committee because of the backlash from the privacy community. Now, the spring’s worst sequel, Bill C-22, aka The Lawful Access Act, is trying it again.

Surveillance : les députés élargissent à nouveau le dispositif des « boîtes noires » | Pixels

Lorsque tout cet arsenal sécuritaire tombera entre les mains d'un gouvernement autoritaire qui élargira leur champ d'application à la chasse aux opposants ou aux "indésirables", il ne nous restera que nos yeux pour pleurer.

Surveillance : les députés élargissent à nouveau le dispositif des « boîtes noires »

Le projet de loi actualisant la programmation militaire jusqu’en 2030 a réintroduit deux extensions précédemment censurées de cette technique de surveillance controversée, dont l’analyse des URL complètes.

🚨 The UK says it wants to "protect children online"

Yet, forcing EVERYONE to verify their age won't stop harm - but put all of us under surveillance.

Today, we've signed an open letter together with @mullvad @Tor @mozilla & others to stop #AgeVerification in the UK 💪

Without fail, every time an age verification law goes into effect, VPN usage surges. Instead of realizing that mass surveillance and age gates aren't exactly crowd favorites, Utah lawmakers have decided VPNs themselves are the real issue. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/utahs-new-law-regulating-vpns-goes-effect-next-week

For the last couple of years, we’ve watched the same predictable cycle play out across the globe: a state (or country) passes a clunky age-verification mandate, and, without fail, Virtual Private Network (VPN) usage surges as residents scramble to maintain their privacy and anonymity.

#Session a besoin de 830 000 $ dans les deux prochains mois pour continuer d'exister. 💵
Sans dons suffisants, on aura une messagerie privée de moins. Au nom de la #vieprivée et de l'anonymat sur Internet donnez si vous le pouvez. 🫶

https://getsession.org/donate

Dans l'éventualité où cet objectif ne serait pas atteint, ils reverseront tout à l'EFF, donc dans tous les cas votre don ne sera pas perdu.

If you're driving in Texas, you may see one of these billboards. The reason? Texas deputies have already used Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation — and they tried to deny it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/flock-safety-and-texas-sheriff-claimed-license-plate-search-was-missing-person-it
