Bill Would Let Police Monitor Email

Posted by samzenpus on from the careful-what-you-write dept.

Duuk2k2 writes "The Canadian federal cabinet will review new legislation this fall that would give police and security agencies vast powers to begin surveillance of the Internet without court authority. The new measures would allow law-enforcement agents to intercept personal e-mails, text messages and possibly even password-secure websites used for purchasing and financial transactions."

    Just because the moderator is tired of seeing a sig is no excuse for modding it offtopic. That's a clear abuse of moderation, and if that's the reason, I hope whoever did it loses their mod points permanently.
