Bill C-22, which would allow for regulations requiring service providers to retain certain metadata for up to a year and develop capabilities in its systems for police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to obtain that information for investigations.
Almost every other week I get a email for "xyz company" saying the same thing.
"Your data has been compromised because our network was accessed by a outside third party."
I wonder how all this information stored by companies for over a year will now be protected, it will only benefit nefarious actors, scammers, and more then likely the company selling the data to third parties to regain costs of storage.

This is why we need self-postable infrastructure, so that you can just operate and open Defiance of the law
may or may not fit the bill, but check out https://reticulum.network/.
Description from their page:
The vision of Reticulum is to allow anyone to operate their own sovereign communication networks, and to make it cheap and easy to cover vast areas with a myriad of independent, interconnectable and autonomous networks.
I've been trying it out and it feels a lot like the early web and there's a few cool projects building on top of the reticulum network:
- Nomad Network: A terminal based program that provides multiple features.
- Sideband: An Android/Linux/MacOS client that supports messaging, voice calls and various other features.
- MeshChatX: A modern multi-platform client.
- RetiBBS: A bulletin board system for the reticulum network.
- Columba: A modern reticulum network messaging client for Android.
If anyone happens to try it out, shoot me a message at 4187fa0d2254b521d243c42448e81206!
What a fantastic way to create jobs in America...WAIT...WHAT!
