New Canadian Bill to Expand Law Enforcement Wiretapping
Tuan Nguyen writes on Daily Tech:
Internet privacy and user rights have long been a hot topic of debate in the U.S., but next door neighbor Canada has been relatively quiet on the issue. Things are about to heat up in Canada as the current Liberal government tries to pass something called the Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act (MITA) or Bill C-416.More here.
The bill allow government and law enforcement agencies to access private citizen information without a warrant. Bill C-416 makes it possible for scenarios such as limited digital and analog wiretapping. Additionally, ISPs will also be required to give full customer information if needed.
