The decades-long battle over lawful access entered a new phase yesterday with the introduction of Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act. The lawful access elements of the bill faced an immediate backlash given the inclusion of unprecedented rules permitting widespread warrantless access to personal information. Lawful access never dies, however. This would allow law enforcement to demand that telecom providers (not any service provider) confirm whether they provide service to a particular person. The government may have taken warrantless access to subscriber information off the table, but there remains serious privacy concerns associated with its lawful access plans.
