## Resource

Canada’s government rolled out amendments to Bill C-22 to appease tech giants, trimming metadata retention from a year to six months and clarifying no forced decryption—but Google and others still reject it, citing lingering risks from secret ministerial orders. Apple, Meta, Signal, and even Tailscale voiced concerns, warning the law could force secure services to compromise privacy or build unwanted infrastructure. While the government insists this fills a G7 gap without enabling mass surveillance, critics say it’s a partial fix at best. The bill heads to the Senate, and the battle over privacy vs. security isn’t over. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
