Ottawa wants the power to create secret backdoors in our networks to allow for surveillance

https://archive.ph/y6d41#selection-2491.0-2491.91

...Bill C-26 empowers government officials to secretly order telecommunications companies to install backdoors inside encrypted elements in Canada’s networks. This could include requiring telcos to alter the 5G encryption standards that protect mobile communications to facilitate government surveillance.

...The law would also impact cloud-connected smart devices like cars, home CCTV, or pacemakers, and satellite-based services like Starlink – all of which could be compromised by any new vulnerabilities.

Unfortunately, history is rife with government backdoors exposing individuals to deep levels of cyber-insecurity.

Only the most naïve think that these back doors don't already exist. The government is just becoming more open in their desire for a total surveillance state, but on the bright side this gives us the opportunity to plainly demonstrate government malevolence to normies.
