The Montreal Gazette reports that a group of privacy advocates is voicing concerns about the potential impact of several government initiatives. The Canadian Association of Professional Access and Privacy Administrators (CAPAPA) is taking issue with the Lawful Access Law--which would require Internet service providers to monitor online behaviour and identify individuals to law enforcement without a warrant--and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)--which would require Canada to sync copyright laws with 37 other countries and punish copyright infringers by denying them Internet access for one year. Taken individually, the initiatives may seem innocuous, but "if you put it all together, it has a cumulative effect," said a CAPAPA spokeswoman.
