The 3 horsemen of bad legislation all gathered here for this occasion.
Some highlights [1]:
- 12 months retention policy if "[provider has] reasonable grounds to believe that their Internet service is being or has been used to commit a child pornography offence" (why is such a long retention policy needed)?
- extrajudicial "requirement to provide information" ("add a requirement for persons who provide an internet service to provide, without a requirement for judicial authorization")
- Creates more bureaucracy for yet another useless bill ("Digital Safety Commissioner of Canada" + 3 boards)
& more which I can't be bothered to list. The "invitation to comment by email" seems bad faith. How can you come with such legislation if you care about what people think?
