I just emailed a strongly worded letter
to my government representative to oppose Bill C-22.
If you are Canadian, you should too: https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1
🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: https://openmedia.org/StopC22 #BillC22
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.
BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.
This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!

This was one of @Em0nM4stodon's final projects she did with us, and I'm super happy to finally be able to share it with you all. It's a very comprehensive resource I hope privacy advocates will find valuable!

In my year at Privacy Guides:
đź“° I wrote 28 articles, including some long-form investigative essays.
✊ I designed and developed an entirely new section for the website, with long-term plans to develop it further.
🧰 I wrote 25 short tip-articles for the first tool of this new section, the Privacy Activist Toolbox.
đź“— I researched and put together a directory of Data Protection Authorities worldwide (including 89 regions), to facilitate public access to report privacy violations of their local privacy laws.
đź‘• I created 4 designs for the merchandise store, including an elaborated unique vector line illustration.
🗣️ I wrote over 100 social media posts to promote our projects, articles, and videos.
đź’› I engaged with our community to answer questions and provide resources.
If you want me to do the same for your organization, I'm currently available for a new opportunity!

Should political parties in 🇨🇦 follow the same privacy rules as companies? Bill C-4 Part 4 says no.
It ensured there's a totally different set of rules for how parties handle your data.

🚨 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 đź’Ş
