I came across this Bill C-2 just browsing YouTube. I thought it was for another country but this is for Canada. It enables warrantless search and it’s up to the business/organization to fight the request of information on our behalf. I don’t think Amazon/Bell/Google will put out a fight before they hand over our informations.

    I’ve been yelling about this bill for weeks. It’s an extremely disturbing government overreach, but this seems to be the way the new liberal government is moving in general.

      This isn’t a Liberal vs Conservative thing. Both parties want the same thing. That’s why they both support these types of bills. Neither party represents us or has our best interest in mind. They want power and control over us.

        Bill c5 and bill c2 seem to be a lot more overreaching than what the liberal government was putting out before, plus they at least had the NDP to safeguard a bit. I certainly feel like they’re moving in a bolder (worse) direction.

      This is one of those very peculiar, but definitely not connected, and definitely isn’t part of a global order, types of laws/regulations that are being passed world wide - even the swiss.

      So, nothing to see here. Nothing to fret about. It’s just gonna be used to save the children and, pinky swear, nothing else.

      Now, back in line, citizen.

    Use a VPN for everything except looking up Bible quotes and searching for grannie porn.

    And, for the love of god and all that is holy, change the DNS on their modem/routers and use a secure DNS provider on a different device.

    And check that your DNS resolver does esni / ech properly.

    Your results should look like this:

    Addendum:

    If you can, or if you know someone, or if you care enough to learn (I went from zero knowledge of DNS to “zero trust” in a modest amount of time), set up your own DNS resolvers or DNS proxies. Learn about things like DNS rebinding (bad), and how to prevent leaks using a VPN.

    Personally, I use dnscrypt-proxy on Linux and android. It can be configured to use a local DoH server, quic/http3, DoT, and of course, dnscrypt.

    Dnscrypt-proxy can use IP and domain block lists - no more ads, sypware, malware, tracking, porn - whatever category you want. It is compatible with adblock, unlock, and any other block list syntax. It also has the ability to forward certain domains to specific IPs. Eg someone looks up Facebook? They get redirected to 0.0.0.0 or why not lemonparty dot org.

    The dnscrypt protocol both encrypts and anonymizes your DNS queries by relaying them through a series of relays (your_ choice of which and how many).
