Toronto-Based VPN Provider Plans to Quit Canada over Lawful-Access Bill

Automated excerpt

Psiphon, a software company spun out of the Citizen Lab that helps internet users living under oppressive regimes evade online censorship, plans to leave Canada if the federal government’s lawful-access bill passes in its current form, reports The Globe and Mail. If passed, Bill C-22 would require electronic service providers to make secret changes to their systems to provide police services and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) with surveillance and monitoring capabilities. Psiphon was originally created as a Citizen Lab project in 2006, and became a private company soon afterward.
