The fact that Identi.ca is based in Canada is certainly one of my stronger reasons for wanting to use this micro-blogging service over US based Twitter. Canadians seem to give a damn about privacy.
Too bad so many Internet properties are based in the US or are US owned, until we get to the bottom of this NSA debacle these can all be viewed as honeypots for the feds.

- salimmadjd 13y agoCanada is rapidly changing under Harper (Canadian Bush). I wouldn't trust anything in Canada either. I wish someone woukd start looking at places in Europe with stronger privacy laws like Germany. Or if Iceland had better connections to place it in Iceland.

An explanation for non-Canadians: In response to criticism to the Conservatives' "lawful access" legislation, which would require Canadian ISPs to install monitoring equipment on their networks and allow government warrant-less access to user data, our Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, famously said: "You're either with the government, or with the child molesters"

I also remember the Harper government opening up sharing Canadian citizen's personal information with the U.S border. Canada's government right now is all about bowing down to the U.S.
