The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a senior executive at Signal is warning members of Parliament that the federal lawful access bill includes "chilling" proposals that could force the company to alter its code and compromise user privacy. The Globe's Marie Woolf writes that Signal's Udbhav Tiwari said the company would withdraw from Canada rather than comply with the bill. He noted that the bill could create vulnerabilities for hackers and require the collection of customer metadata, which Signal does not currently collect. He said: "C-22 creates an open-ended power to compel a company to re-engineer its own service to enable government access. Once you build a mechanism to break your own protections, that mechanism exists, and it can be identified and exploited by anyone with the time and resources to do so. ... As security experts have warned for over 30 years, there is no back door that only the good guys can walk through." The bill would require telecoms, Internet companies and other electronic service providers to make changes to their systems, thus giving surveillance capabilities to police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to combat threats and criminal activity.
