Tories on e-snooping: ‘Stand with us or with the child pornographers’

[Niflmir]

So this law is basically useless for anybody except a blackhat bent on damaging someone's reputation by connecting to an obvious honeypot with somebody else's IP address.

The government gets 2 powers out of this act:

1. The power to sue telecommunications companies that aren't capable of allowing them to easily spy on their customers: boos to you Rim and your encrypted e-mail, no love for a Canadian company.
2. The power to determine anybody's IP address and ISP granted e-mail address. I don't want them to have that information, because they are clearly stupid enough to act as if an IP address is a person.

Put together, maybe they want it to be easy to set up a honeypot? I don't think they will catch many flies. Maybe 30 years ago they would have, but not now.

Meanwhile, the child pornographers will continue to use TOR, and 14 year old boys and girls will still be charged by the police for producing child pornography (14-year old child pornographers? Sexting lawsuits get serious) although maybe we are still not so extreme in Canada.

Someone should tell Toews about the three fingers pointing back at himself when trying to deflect attention from himself. The man must be guilty of something because he protests too much.

Anonymous videos a threat to democracy, Vic Toews says - Politics - CBC News

Sometimes i wonder about the logic this guy holds, in all honesty do he take acting classes, or is he just really so faulty that he is blind to his own contradictory ways?

Like this shining example:

Toews urged the committee to study the impact of the use of the internet on democratic processes and to determine if there are any steps that MPs could take to protect themselves from intimidation or that the House of Commons could take to protect MPs.

He said that he views freedom of speech as precious and that he protects it, but that the videos "crossed the line."

"I do not believe that members of Parliament should be held hostage, afraid to do what they feel is right for fear that unnamed thugs might threaten them," he told the committee. "Canadians deserve better."

The fact that he is so hot and bothered over the idea someone is going to release information about himself that with his own new bill would indeed be able to be retrieved anyway is just ridiculous. I happen to agree with what anonymous is doing in this instance (however if the mentioned 'outside threats' are of their doing and threaten bodily harm this i am not okay with).

The Guy fox masks that the self proclaimed members of Anon wear are appropriate; as the only response i could possibly have for Mr. Toews on this issue is simply this.

"“People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

That that is only my thoughts on the matter for what they are worth.

Well since i can't edit my responce to simply put this in there, I found a Blog article that i found sums up this whole affair. Natural Opinion: Canadian Government V.S. Internet Rights

What a complete tool.

Hmmm, threatening and intimidating a politician. To illegally coerce him to do what you want. Isn't a threat against democracy?

Interesting.

It's republicanism.

 

[CDNBear]

No, that's republicanism.

Interesting.

It's funny, you endorse criminality as long as it's directed at members of the CPC, not allegedly committed by the CPC.

Interesting indeed.

Yup the same usual suspects that were making excuses for Julian Assange and Bradley Manning demonize the CPC but make excuses for the crimes committed against them.....

Then they cry when you call them ideologues, partisan hacks or just plain make fun of them.

Ahhh yes, the patented Fuzzy dodge.

Good call, you wouldn't want to look like any more of an ideologically driven partisan hack, than you already do...:roll:

Nope. I don't put too much stock in what Toews has to say, so it doesn't mean much at all to me.

What kind of mind says this kind of ****..

The stupid kind.
