New comment by Canada in "Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act: Dangerous backdoor surveillance risks remain"

Canada — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 08:58:04 +0000

There isn't the political will to remove the organized criminals who have been running Canada for decades, since the 1960s if not longer. Most people don't see how dire the circumstances are and even if they feel the country is on the wrong path they continue to believe that voting for the other guy can fix it. Same for Australia and New Zealand.

There is some hope in the British Isles. To anyone reading this who can see that simply electing this party or that party changes nothing: Take a good look at what Restore Britain is doing there, and consider supporting if you're in a position to do so. Nothing is easy, but they are drawing together more people who understand what it really means to say "no" to this system than I've ever seen organize anywhere else.

I can't believe the same pretext as Iraq is going to work again. There's nothing good for Americans fighting this war.

A future administration should just take TikTok away from Elison.

The same pretext has been deployed in Australia as well. I'm not sure if the Carney government will also try.

I don't think anyone is defending it. It's all astroturf.

New comment by Canada in "Larry Ellison provides personal guarantee for Paramount takeover of Warner Bros"

Yes, we need to openly discuss this. It's beyond ridiculous, and they are openly talking about their plans to censor us, which is exactly what Larry is doing. Fuck him.

And look at what they're talking about in Australia right now. This just isn't right, it makes me sick.

We, the majority, are being taken advantage of in the most disgusting and cynical way by this small group of terrible people and our traitor leaders who they bribe and blackmail, and I'm sick and tired of it, and it's long past time we stand up for our own interests.

He's buying as much media as possible to propagandize Americans on behalf of Israel. It's why he has TikTok and why he's installed Bari Weiss at CBS.

And as of now, it's STILL broken!!

Really, we need to stop relying on Cloudflare so much. This is just too much centralization.

last error I've seen as of now was at 08:50... a good 40 minutes ago.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about this

It's not every request, it's spurious connection failures.

If anyone from Cloudflare is reading this: You say a fixed has been applied and you're monitoring results. IT IS NOT FIXED. IT IS FAILING CONSTANTLY RIGHT NOW

What's even more messed up is the reason why this is happening. Israel needs to take over TikTok so that it can propagandize young Americans for its own selfish ends.

And they feel so secure in doing things like this they talk about it openly: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EteAsbtWFUE

It's actually better to do this on the device.

If you can give children something that is basically whilelisted access then it reduces the need to try to filter the open web.

I'm starting to see banks retire their web sites and push the app. It's likely that in 5 years most banks will only offer apps.

Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't a corporate MITM. I turned off my VPN and saw the same on my own machine.

I guess Cloudflare isn't doing this any more by default.

They probably didn't share the other cert because they'd have to give the private keys to these Chinese partner.

I'm imagining a future where the software is local first and does a lot of operations peer to peer rather than trying to host large scale centralized web apps that dominate today.

We really don't need huge data centers hosting our notes and discussion forms and spreadsheets in order to make these things collaborative.

It would be A LOT easier to make that work if the internet was end to end by default again.
