    Wait, so “USAmericans” isn’t politically correct enough for you? Only “USian” is?

    And strictly speaking we have four groups:

    • Americans
    • Latin Americans
    • Whatever the fuck Canadians are. Quebecers are technically Latin Americans.
    • A few Dutch and English speaking places that we collectively pretend don’t exist. Like Jamaica and Suriname.



















  • The heads of the judiciary and foreign affairs committees said in a joint letter to Anandasangaree the bill would “drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans.” They said it would allowThey said it would allow “Canadian government officials to compel American companies to build backdoors into their encrypted systems, thereby introducing systemic vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers, foreign adversaries, and cybercriminals.”

    The spokesperson for the public safety minister said the letter reflects a misunderstanding of how the bill would function.

    So do the people who wrote this bill not understand how encryption works, or is the American government staffed by conspiracy theorist nutters?

    EDIT: Looked it up and, little bit of both, little bit of neither. It basically bans the idea of “systemically private” services, any privacy needs to be subject to human whims and therefore court orders. Revocable privacy is not privacy.
