Google joins privacy backlash and warns Canada Bill C-22 could 'break end-to-end encryption' and create a 'surveillance infrastructure'
Google and Apple urged Canada’s lawmakers to amend Bill C-22, warning it could “break end-to-end encryption” and create a “surveillance infrastructure,” according to testimony and a submission reported by Reuters. The proposed Lawful Access Act would expand law-enforcement access, allow secret orders without judicial oversight, and could require metadata retention up to a year. Meta, Signal, and VPN providers have also opposed the bill.
