What do you guys think about this:
Conservative bills would force ISPs to widen police access - The Globe and Mail
Here are a few key quotes from this article:
I bolded the parts I have an issue with. Some parts (like the child exploitation measures) I can support, but obtaining information on me without a warrant is troublesome IMO.
One part that could be dodgy is the requirement to implement the interception technology; but if a judge issues a warrant, then I have no problems with the police following someone around cyberspace.
Conservative bills would force ISPs to widen police access - The Globe and Mail
Here are a few key quotes from this article:
The proposed legislation would: – enable police to access information on an Internet subscriber, such as name, street address and email address, without having to get a search warrant.
- force Internet service providers to freeze data on their hard drives to prevent subscribers under investigation from deleting potentially important evidence.
- require Telecom companies to invest in technology that allows for the interception of Internet communications.
- allow police to remotely activate tracking devices already embedded in cellphones and certain cars, to help with investigations.
- allow police to obtain data about where Internet communications are coming from and going to.
- make it a crime to arrange with a second person over the Internet the sexual exploitation of a child.
