Title
The EU must act now to protect privacy and encryption from Canada’s overreaching Bill C-22
Abstract
The highly criticised Bill C-22, threatens end-to-end encryption, carries sweeping surveillance capabilities and blanket data retention mandates, and is not just a domestic privacy and data issue in Canada. Bill C-22 puts the privacy and data of millions of people in Europe, and elsewhere, at risk as it also applies to certain service providers and people outside of Canada. It allows Canadian authorities to compelEuropean-based companies to comply with demands relating to security and data of their customers based in Europe without oversight or transparency.
