Bill C30 Needs a Remedy

Michael Geist has posted his suggestions on how to remedy bill C30, the online surveillance bill that threatens to jeopardize Canadians' privacy online. Although there has been a huge public push-back since the government has introduced the bill, I fear it may still get pushed through. However, Geist is right, if it does; it NEEDS to be reviewed. Here are his primary suggestions.

1. Evidence, Evidence, Evidence
2. No Mandatory Warrantless Access to Subscriber Information
3. Reporting Warrantless Disclosure of Subscriber Information
4. Remove the Disclosure Gag Order
5. "Voluntary" Warrantless Data Preservation and Production
6. Government Installation of Surveillance Equipment
7. Reconsider the Internet Provider Regulatory Framework
8. Improve Lawful Access Oversight
9. Limit the Law to Serious Crimes
10. Come Clean on Costs
11. The Missing Regulations
12. Deal With The Failure of Privacy Laws To Keep Pace
