Petition to Withdraw Canada's Bill C-22

https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7416

> Bill C-22 authorizes #regulations requiring designated "core providers" to collect and retain metadata on all #Canadians for up to one year without any individual being under suspicion or investigation, and grants the Minister of Public Safety power to impose these same requirements on any electronic service provider by ministerial order. Such metadata can reveal highly sensitive information including patterns of movement, association, medical activity, religious participation, and political activity;

My hesitancy about AI is that it is serious invasion of privacy.

People “chat” with these tools and reveal all kinds of details about themselves and what they are working on. After that happens, they have no control over what is done with that data or who it is shared with.

If AI is used for tasks or technical details where privacy is not that much of a concern, I have less of a problem with it.

If AI could be used completely locally without “phoning home” and sharing all the details with BigTech companies, then I’d be much more okay with it.

As of now, that’s hard to do. I think the privacy concerns are very real and should be taken seriously.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop

Detailed blog post by Alexander Hanff

What Anthropic chooses to do next matters. A company cannot credibly claim to support human rights, as Anthropic have done in arguing against the use of their technology for war, and in the next breath undermine the fundamental human rights to privacy and data protection.

Here's the thing about Proton Mail:

With Proton Mail, the content of your email is fully end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to service providers IF (and only if) you are communicating with another Proton Mail account, or you have set up a PGP key exchange otherwise.

The metadata of your email, however, isn't end-to-end encrypted. It is accessible in plain text to Proton. This includes:

  • Your payment information
  • The subject line of your emails
  • Your IP address(es), which can reveal your location
  • The email addresses you have communicated with
  • The time you have sent and received emails

If Proton is legally forced to provide this information to law enforcement, they will. They have to.

If your threat model makes it that it's dangerous for you when this metadata is shared, you need to use another, more private, method of communication.
