Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

If I may make a suggestion, I would approach future discussions by pointing to this case as a good thing for privacy, since it shows we don't need to implement draconian measures like the Liberal proposal in order to prosecute crimes. Your negative framing here is what threw others off track.

Noted.

I still maintain that this article is meaningless rage-bait designed to garner support for new laws.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I genuinely believe the opposite is true. Anybody opposing those laws should wave this in the Liberals' faces. "See? The system already works."

I hope you’re right.
