Paris attacks put Canada's Internet privacy laws at risk

As the title says, the terrorist attack in Paris, France will put Canada's internet privacy at risk.

There is a risk that the attacks will renew calls to go beyond Bill C-51, by restricting the use of encryption technologies that are widely used.

In other words,encryption technologies that are widely used by financial institutions, health care providers and a growing segment of the public groups may be restricted. Read more here. According to Wikipedia, Bill C-51 will make it easier for government agencies to share information about individuals easily. Bill C-51 is suppose to improve safety for Canadians in three ways:

by making “preventive arrest” easier when police suspect someone may be planning to carry out a terrorist activity; by strengthening Canada’s “no-fly list”; and by improving communication and coordination on potential threats among federal agencies.

My reaction: We don't have much privacy on the internet anyway. For one thing, people can are always sharing personal information on social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter. The only people who really care about internet privacy are the ones who have something to hide.
