Google and Apple are among the companies voicing their opposition to Bill C-22, the federal government's proposed legislation aimed at making it easier for authorities to require firms to hand over private user data for investigations. An earlier version of the legislation, Bill C-2, was shelved after backlash over potential overreach into Canadians’ privacy. "When you build a backdoor into an encrypted device, anyone can walk through and cause so much is built on encryption we can't take that risk," Apple's Director of User Privacy, Erik Neuenschwander said. Mackenzie Gray explains why there's opposition to the revised bill and what tech giants are threatening to do.

You know it's bad when even Google is worried about privacy
People need to look at bill c-9 as it will silence Canada and make it much easier for bill c-22 to pass
Could. NO IT ABSOLUTELY WILL
Remember when your absolute vital personal and tax info was hacked and tens of thousands of CRA accounts were compromised? Remember when they shut off some peoples financial accounts?
Yet they collect and sell our data for profit...
Welcome to Orwell's nightmare - Canada is cooked.
After the corruption the of the OPP and Toronto police. this is not a good idea.
Figure this will backfire rather intensely.
Both Global News reporters are Liberal puppets. Why don't they call out Mark Carney?
The liberals are trying to turn Canada into china
These companies will just stop doing business in Canada. Which is exactly what the corrupt Liberals want. They are setting up a dictatorship like China has.
Can Canada's govt act more insane and clueless to reality its not funny enough
This is some bullsh🤬t right here. Only billionaires and politicians have privacy rights. Privacy is a fundamental human right
Liberals waited for majority, with a few politicians crossing to floor to turn Canada into a police state. With backdoors I wonder if our banking will be safe…
Canada is going full communism with Bill C9 and Bill c22 no kidding people are leaving the country as fast as Ducks heading south for winter
Majority is fake call a election
Who asked for this?
No Canadians are concerned because they are authoritarian. They are building their surveillance system to monitor law abiding citizens for any little wrong think they might have. we are headed down a dark road. with constant gas lighting and manipulation too, with these headlines and everything else.
They are regulating US Tech companies with ties to the US Military Industrial Complex to keep a blackmail folder on each one of us CANADIAN CITIZENS. What could possibly go wrong? It's not like we've had a contentious relationship with them or that their nation has become a hostile and incompetent laughing stock on the global stage. AND WE'RE GIVING THEM A FREE WIN???? Canada absolutely not strong. (and no, Piere would be no better, he'd skip the middleman and go straight to Palantir with a contract). Eagerly awaiting strong oppostion to this.
Liberalsand communism are synoymous.
