Bill C-22 would force every messaging app in Canada to build a second key, and give the copy to the government. What's changed, what's happening now, what's next.
Republicans Jim Jordan, chair of the U.S. judiciary committee, and Brian Mast, who oversees the foreign affairs committee, argued the Canadian 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.”
“American companies operating in Canada would face a difficult choice: compromising the security of their entire user base — including U.S. citizens — or risking exclusion from the Canadian market,” the letter said.
“Either outcome harms U.S. national security and economic interests by undermining trust in American technology and inviting reciprocal demands from other nations.”
