    Data centers are being built to track everything. Chatgpt and the like are the front/cover in terms of the amount of data centers being planned to build.

    Like having grow houses mixed in with regular houses.

    It’s pretty clear there is a movement to get this modernized new [1st world] governing in place. Like how in america cable TV got switched from analog to digital… The entire foundation of our governing systems, and life in general is switching from analog to digital. But they are doing it slowly with marketing to hide the fact. …because they know people won’t consent.

    What Louis didn’t mention is that this is the current Liberal Government’s second try at this, after stuffing it in Part 15 of Bill C-2 which ultimately didn’t come to pass. My thoughts then.

    C-2 was broken out now to several individual bills, some which have passed, some not. I still see why the government wants this bill to display their tough-on-crime posture, but I wrote to my MP again last weekend on two points on C-22 that still need fixing:

    • Change all instances of ‘suspect’ to ‘believe’ in the phrase “reasonable grounds to suspect”. These sweeping powers I think need more than just police suspicion which particularly in the online space they can fabricate the “pre-crime” from thin air.
    • Getting rid of the metadata clause. I pointed out that mandating companies to collect and retain information for authorities from innocent users before any crime happens, is not dissimilar to carding on the street getting info to supposedly stop crime before it happens. And that I don’t trust companies to securely store this information given numerous instances of breaches, hacks and accidental leaks.

    I was inspired by @mgeist@mas.to 's extensive blogging on the subject on his website: michaelgeist.ca and his appearances in Parliament.

      I wrote my MP as well, but focused on the privacy industry exiting Canada if logging was required for them to operate legally (and how that would affect me, personally), and how forcing services to add a back door for the government to access data would compromise everyone’s security. I cited Geist and various other articles.

    Love Rossmann, but what a terrible video. “I’m too busy to make a video, so I’ll blast a bunch of information at you in triple time, you plebs.”
