Canada proposes bill to invade citizen privacy

[Hidden to Guests]

The Canadian government has introduced two bills to the parliament that will enable it to gain access to the personal information of it's citizens.

The controversial bills named C-46 and C-47, if approved, would allow warrantless interception of personal information by the government and the intelligence service via telecommunication companies.

This would permit authorities to exert wider influence on information networks by collecting confidential data about citizens including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and even the data on their personal computers.

For a decade, the Canadian government has been after approving a law that obliges telecommunication companies to allow police and security services to access the private data of their users.

While Western governments retain the right to infringe on people's privacy, they never hesitate in criticizing third world governments for what they describe as violation of people's confidential social and individual freedoms.
