Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Releases Statement on Internet Privacy
From CARL:
The Government of Canada recently introduced Bill C-13, legislation that includes several provisions that would significantly expand law enforcement powers. One such provision (Section 487.019) offers immunity to Internet service providers that agree to disclose private information about users to police officials. CARL is concerned this measure might encourage ISPs to disclose information without a judicial warrant or the user’s informed consent.
