schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, D-Virginia, has been working on the bill with Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota. Warner said the bill will address the current threat from foreign apps. For years now, ByteDance Ltd.-owned TikTok has wrestled with U.S. politicians, always denying that is in cahoots with the Chinese Communist Party and is spying on Americans.</p>Mar 09 10:17

schestowitz[TR]                            <blockquote>Mar 09 10:44
schestowitz[TR]                                <p>For more than a year, Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has clung to the Bill C-11 mantra of “platforms in, users out”. When presented with clear evidence from thousands of digital creators, the former chair of the CRTC, and numerous experts that that wasn’t true, the Senate passed compromise language to ensure that platforms such as Youtube would be caught by the legislation consistMar 09 10:44
schestowitz[TR]ent with the government’s stated objective, but that user content would not. Last night, Rodriguez rejected the compromise amendment, turning his back on digital creators and a Senate process lauded as one of the most comprehensive ever. In doing so, he has left no doubt about the government’s true intent with Bill C-11: retain power and flexibility to regulate user content.</p>Mar 09 10:44

schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>According to a report from Proofpoint, TA499 targets US and European politicians, and leading businessmen and celebrities who have spoken out against Putin’s invasion. The primary purpose is to persuade the victims to take part in phone calls or video chats from which pro-Putin snippets can be elicited and published – thereby discrediting any previous anti-Putin comments.</p>Mar 09 10:51
