OpenMedia BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of ๐จ๐ฆ ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.
This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!
"Canadaโs Bill C-22 Is a Repackaged Version of Last Yearโs Surveillance Nightmare" Canadians deserve better, so stop with it already.
Awesome HN comment from Embarrassed help:
Both the mandatory data retention and encryption backdoor requirements will cause encrypted messaging services like Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, Matrix, and others to block both Canadians and Canadian businesses from their services.
If you live in Canada or are impacted by this legislation, then you need to tell both your MP and the Minister of Public Safety of Canada to reject this legislation.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) published information about Bill C-22 here just over a week ago:
https://ccla.org/privacy/coalition-to-mps-scrap-unprecedented-surveillance-measures/
The blanket metadata retention and encryption backdoor requirements of Bill C-22 are illegal in the European Union.
Multiple groups have made easy to use tools for sending your MP and (other members of government) an email about rejecting this terrible legislation in its current form:
* The Internet Society's tool:
https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/keep-canada-protected/
* OpenMedia's messaging tool: https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1
* ICLM's messaging tool:
https://iclmg.ca/stop-c-22/
I would also recommend emailing the Minister of Public Safety of Canada (Gary Anandasangaree: gary.anand@parl.gc.ca) and the Minister of Justice (Sean Fraser: sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca).

BrianKrebs New, from me: Canvas Breach Disrupts Schools and Colleges Nationwide
"An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States today, after a cybercrime group defaced the serviceโs login page with a ransom demand that threatened to leak data from 275 million students and faculty across nearly 9,000 educational institutions."
"Canvas parent firm Instructure responded to today's defacement attacks by disabling the platform, which is used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses to manage coursework and assignments, and to communicate with students."

๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Give this a read, friends (there's a link to switch to plain text if you prefer).
"Foreign actors producing more false content about Alberta separatism" Hmmm... who would do this, you wonder? "the campaigns are coming out of Russia and the United States" Yep, story checks out.
World Wide Web Consortium W3C is very pleased to announce that the @sovtechfund has launched a pilot program to support independent #OpenSource maintainers participation in the work of our groups, including training, mentoring, and financial support to make sustained engagement possible. It is really wonderful to see efforts from organizations to recognize the role that open standards play.
The call for applications is open until 19 May.
