The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Signal, the secure messaging service using end-to-end encryption, has warned it may leave Canada if required to compromise user privacy under Bill C-22, Ottawa's proposed lawful access legislation. The Globe's Marie Woolf writes that Signal says it has deep concerns about measures in the bill, including its potential to introduce security vulnerabilities. It said it would rather pull out of the country than be compelled to compromise on the privacy promises it has made to its users. It fears that Bill C-22, which is currently being scrutinized by a Commons committee, could threaten encryption. It also warned changes to systems required under the bill could make private messaging services a potential target for cyberattacks. The bill mandates telecoms and Internet companies to modify their systems to provide surveillance capabilities for police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Apple and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce have warned the lawful access regime proposed by the bill could weaken or break encryption. Meta has warned that the bill "could conscript private companies into service as an arm of the government's surveillance apparatus."
