The Canadian government is preparing to give away Canadians’ digital lives—to U.S. police, to the Donald Trump administration, and possibly to foreign spy agencies.

Bill C-2, the so-called Strong Borders Act, is a sprawling surveillance bill with multiple privacy-invasive provisions. But the thrust is clear: it’s a roadmap to aligning Canadian surveillance with U.S. demands…

Thank you for posting but this is a duplicate post of https://lemmy.ca/post/48616498

Ah, sorry, my search missed it. Did I also double post? Sorry, still figuring Lemmy out.

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

No worries

Your intentions are good and the accidental double posts are fine and aren't too harmful👍

That happens sometimes, it's likely a browser / app error

I delete one of them afterwards when I notice it

If this bill passes then it's finally time I get a VPN to another country.

It’s been time for a long time… according to today’s sponsor NordVPN

Also don’t get nord. Highly recommend torguard

How are the speeds? Nord is shit but I can't lower the already shit speeds.

Once the VPN has tracking for law enforcement or the government the VPN is trash. Privacy is bullshit and it doesn't actually prevent you from being spied on if they wanted too. I should be able to protect myself from the government especially considering all of the countries now are enshittifying themselves.

Does Nord track users? As far as I know they have a strict no-logging policy which has been independently audited each year including this year. On this basis I have been using them. Can you point me towards a source for privacy issues with Nord? If they are really tracking users I will want to look elsewhere.
