>This could include requiring telcos to alter the 5G encryption standards that protect mobile communications to facilitate government surveillance. I laughed so hard at this :D Really funny stuff... >So it makes no sense that the Canadian government would itself seek the ability to create more holes, rather than patching them. This almost killed me, ahahahahah, really. Makes no freaking sense.... Here is the reality of it: before 5G, some infrastructure around SS7 was needed to get to the data of any network user. In a 5G network, this is all built-in functionality, so you can see that country or another spending $billions of public money to get a better tool for surveilliance on public while selling it as another slightly better speed limit. Obviously no government gives a shit about privacy when they are so easily covered by national security, so don't be delusioned.
