Apple Warns Canada's Bill C-22 Could Force Encryption Backdoors

Apple and Meta say Canada’s proposed Bill C-22 could force tech firms to build backdoors into encrypted products.

The companies warn the bill’s broad powers and weak safeguards could weaken privacy and end-to-end security.

Bill C-22 is still being debated in Canada’s House of Commons, and critics say it sets a risky precedent for government access to encrypted data.
