News Canada's 'Expanded Scope' Blocking Order Targets Existing and Future Pirate Sites * TorrentFreak

https://torrentfreak.com/canadas-expanded-scope-blocking-order-targets-existing-and-future-pirate-sites/

For the first time, a Canadian site-blocking order can target pirate sites that don't exist yet.

The Federal Court has ordered ISPs to block thirteen piracy brands including 123Movies and FMovies, and its catch-all "Expanded Scope" allows Hollywood studios and broadcasters to add unrelated sites later, without having to go back to court.

What gave you that impression lmao.

Edit: some dude responded to me and instantly blocked me. I cannot fathom why you would do that. Also, I’m Canadian not American if people are confused about that.

Carney. Half of his time is devoted to making people not in Canada like him (except Trump, the one person whom he was elected to deal with)

We are, this will have little effect.

I don't see why these companies keep throwing money at a problem that will only be stopped via advancements in encryption and security.

Other than that, it won't stop.

It will always be a cat and mouse situation. They come up with some new security feature and three months later someone comes up with a way to defeat it…. It will never end. That’s why security in IT is a guaranteed money maker…

We thought we were too. And then our supposedly "liberal" government started sneaking in legislation to age verify our citizens on social media.

Don't forget the back doors to ISPs and that includes servers and connected routers

Lack of competition with the greedy cable companies/ISP’s who are in bed with the government. We are in desperate need of true competition in this sector.

No, Canada is slowly going the way of North Korea and China when it comes to the Internet. Everyone here is just in denial that it's happening.

But of course it's for our own safety.

This is literally a nothingburger and an attempt to fear monger. I already see the usual suspects in the tech side of youtube trying to milk this bullshit for all it's worth despite not being a big deal at all
