Canada To Mandate ISP Deep Packet Inspection

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-not-cool-eh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government has proposed new legislation that would require ISPs to install deep-packet inspection capabilities. The proposal includes a laundry list of surveillance requirements, police review of ISP employees and technologies, and the mandated disclosure of a broad range of subscriber information without any court oversight."

    Nope. I cant access youtube at the moment, but there's a video of Canadian Ezra Levant being interrogated by his own government. His crime: He published a cartoon with a Muslim.

    So much for free speech. Looks like Canada is becoming even more tyrannical than Australia.

    From Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Levant]: "Soharwardy's complaint was ultimately withdrawn, and a complaint he filed with Calgary police came to naught." Looks Canada isn't very good at being tyrannical.
