So hey Pierre.
I’m no fan of the LPC from a long time back. But you are convincing me that a Conservative majority will be a shitshow.
You might just snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this braindead stupidity.
Let’s hope they do. They are a dumpster fire. I’m fine with perpetual minority governments with NDP Liberal and Green coalitions or supply and confidence agreement. Give me electoral reform damn it.
Bet
What a great way to fund shady vpn companies!!
I don’t trust people to write secure code.
I really don’t trust people who run low-margin, sketchy businesses like porn sites to write secure code.
That’s the issue.
You will always be able to find a website not beholden to Canadian law
One of the reasons I don’t run my own webserver, or mailserver any more, or Lemmy/Mastodon instance now, is because I don’t want the liabillity of having to deal with content I don’t control. I’m amazed people run these at all, because it’s trivially easy to end up hosting very problematic content and get the attention of government in truly unpleasant ways.
I cannot imagine anyone anywhere in this chain wants the liability of trying to gatekeep content via ID like this. It’s a technical impossibility, and a liability quagmire.
Want to see how hypocritical the conservatives are? Replace the word digital ID with masks or mandate
And he knows they wouldn’t be compromised how?
Because he’s a fortune teller. Or he thinks he is.
Faith. And tactical “oopsies” when the thing that was expected really happens.
It would be very stupid to set up a system where you have to give the porn site your ID. Better to just have an attestation that this user is over 18 years old.
There even ways to do this without the government knowing which site you visited with zero knowledge cryptography. But that would probably require everyone to get a Yubi key or equivalent, which might be hard to swallow
Yeah, that’s convincing. Really gonna win people over with that one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey, guys, do you pinkie promise to securely track users with no legal standards or requirements in place? This guy will have shocked Pikachu face in 3, 2, 1, …
They know it’s not secure, they’re hoping it will broadly stop (or at the very least, extremely hinder) people from watching porn
Making anything that isn’t missionary position between a married man and woman under the covers with the lights off for the sole purpose of procreation illegal has been a long standing goal of modern conservatives, and they’re currently inching their way there
Cyber security 101 in the early 2000’s. Rule 1: never expose your true identity. Today: Ron Johnson from 24 Albatross Lane is watching anal porn, again.
I love how everybody was all “NEVER GIVE ANY INFO ONLINE” until corporations realized you could make bonkers money, then it very quickly shifted to “GIVE ALL YOUR INFO ONLINE”
Surely there won’t be a rise in blackmail.
And when conservative supporters have their gross/kinky/illegal porn tastes leaked, it will be all Trudeau’s fault.
There is entirely too much potential money to be made and too many interested parties to ever say this.
What’s on his head?
Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?
They put the office floor plan in the leaks, lol, everyone knows where Bob in accounting sits in the office now… That was 100% an inside job, either a disgruntled employee or someone got a job there with the intent of doing some corporate espionage.
Buddy has clearly not been paying attention to the number of data leaks from literally every company that handles person info. From credit reporting to the government itself.
Thats the thing, even if porn sites try their best to protect your data, breaches are going to happen. It is impossible to say with 100% certaintity that the system has no bugs or exploits. It is impossible to say with 100% certaintity that employess handling the data and servers will not act maliciously.
He knows and his masters are looking to make a fortune by doxxing people for their kinks
And you can bet that when that leak would happen, it would come along the entire search and view history for that person.
These dumbfucks have to be saved from digging their own graves as always, because I’m sure the porn they consume is the shadiest.
He’s not an idiot. He pays attention, and has many smart people around him that push this agenda. The privacy breach is the point.
The real question should be why the conservative party considers it their business what people watch. Aren’t they supposed to be for less government intrusion into your life? Seems they want to have much more control than the liberals and NDP who simply want us to stay out of everyone’s private business.
