Secretive CSIS technology that could reveal 'lifestyle choices' needs a warrant, says court

Details of what exactly the technology is and how it's used were redacted in Federal Court's decision

Canada's spy agency needs a warrant when using a secretive type of technology that could help them "learn about an individual's private activities and personal choices" as part of its foreign intelligence gathering mandate, according to a recent Federal Court decision.

 

Details of what exactly that technology is and how it's used were redacted in the June 2020 court ruling, which was posted online today.

 

The Federal Court's findings would only say it concerns technology that allows the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to collect certain information from mobile devices. …

 

… CSIS argued some of the most valuable information it obtains in support of its intelligence mandate often comes from intercepted communications of "foreign persons who are associated with foreign states, groups of foreign states, or foreign corporations."

 

"To obtain a warrant to carry out these interceptions, the service must present reasonable grounds to believe that a foreign person or persons will be sending or receiving communications over a particular [redacted] device that is owned or leased by them," said the court document.

 

CSIS also argued that while the surveys it conducts with this technology are searches, they are "minimally intrusive."

CSIS would be able to 'draw inference,' says justice

 

However, O'Reilly ruled that CSIS's interception of this type of data "is more than minimally intrusive" and requires a warrant under a section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protecting against unreasonable search and seizure.

 

"Having access to this data would allow the service to draw inferences about an individual's personal lifestyle choices," he wrote.

 

"Therefore, in my view, the information [redacted] may allow inferences to be drawn about lifestyle choices and private activities that individuals would wish to maintain and shield from state authorities. Their expectation of privacy in that information is reasonable." …

Coronavirus Lockdown Has Increased Persecution Against Christians Worldwide

 

More than 340 million Christians worldwide have experienced a high level of persecution and discrimination in 2020.

 

…in particular a 60% increase in the number of Christians killed because of their faith (4,761 in total, for an average of 13 every day). As in recent years, Africa remains the deadliest continent for Christians, especially Nigeria, as well as many parts of the sub-Saharan region.

 

… Among the new tendencies analyzed by Open Doors’ researchers was the spread of nationalism based on a belonging to a religious majority in countries like Turkey and India, where discrimination against Christians are on the rise.

 

… The coronavirus also facilitated the expansion of criminal groups, including drug trafficking organizations and various cartels, in the countries of Central and South America — which, according to Nani, has had a severe impact on Christian communities. In sub-Saharan Africa, meanwhile, Islamic terror groups are able to commit abuses against Christians with a greater impunity since local health restrictions have reduced the presence of policemen and militaries in many areas.

 

… But it is undoubtedly the practice of mass surveillance through technology as an instrument to eradicate religious freedom that spread the most over the past months. “In China, and also in India, monitoring systems were turned into a repressive method against religious activities, from the various Church services to the private lives of the church members,” Nani said. …The growing global power of China, which has moved up from the 25th position to the 17th this last year in terms of persecution of Christians, is a particular subject of concern for many Western opinion leaders and politicians. …

CTV broke ethics code in biased report on former president Trump

True North Wire - January 28, 2021

 

A recent ruling by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) found that a CTV National News program from last year violated the code of ethics for Canadian broadcasters.

 

At issue was a Sept. 9, 2020 panel on which CTV reporter Joy Malbon stated former US president Donald Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax.”

 

A viewer complained that CTV misrepresented the former president as that he had never claimed that the virus itself was a hoax but rather that the Democrats’ politicization of the pandemic was.

 

“Ms. Malbon has lied to the audience about what was said and what the ‘hoax’ was referring to as said by President Trump. This needs to be corrected if CTV National News has any integrity. It is obvious by the stories, tone and words used by the anchor of CTV National News and the reporters on this show that they have complete disdain for President Trump,” wrote the complainant. …
