Need a warrant to unmask Internet users? Not if Canada gets its way
- glimcat 15y agoI wonder what it costs to launch a small communications satellite these days.
- canadiancreed 15y agoProbably more then it would take to have it taken down by a missile, or be made ineffective by "interference"
- dhughes 15y agoDo like the Brazilians or Puerto Ricans did and hijack an old unused US military satellite.
- nl 15y agoMore than it costs to have a chain of proxies in different jurisdictions.
- guelo 15y agoWon't help you since anyone with an antenna could receive your satellite's signal, and the government's got some big antennae. Also, your ping times will suck.
- Joakal 15y agoIt would seem fine if there's oversight; is there a good oversight process in Canada against potential abuse? Otherwise, it's as irresponsible as allowing kids to drive with no supervision. Someone will sue the government for allowing it to happen with no safeguard. Wasted taxpayer money in back-pedalling aspects.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoI really don't understand the current thinking in law-making: 1. Legislate access we know is shady. 2. Prohibit people who know from being able to tell anybody about shady access. Secrets and governments: not as good a combination as peanut butter and chocolate.

- maeon3 15y agoA lot of things happen on the internet that could not happen in the real world because of freedom and anonymity. Bring the police force and the 5 inch thick book of laws down to bear on what can and cannot take place on the internet and you take away a component of what made it the greatest tool ever created by mankind.
