Buddy has clearly not been paying attention to the number of data leaks from literally every company that handles person info. From credit reporting to the government itself.

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 37 points 9 months ago

And you can bet that when that leak would happen, it would come along the entire search and view history for that person.

These dumbfucks have to be saved from digging their own graves as always, because I'm sure the porn they consume is the shadiest.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Thats the thing, even if porn sites try their best to protect your data, breaches are going to happen. It is impossible to say with 100% certaintity that the system has no bugs or exploits. It is impossible to say with 100% certaintity that employess handling the data and servers will not act maliciously.

He knows and his masters are looking to make a fortune by doxxing people for their kinks

[-] Szymon@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He's not an idiot. He pays attention, and has many smart people around him that push this agenda. The privacy breach is the point.

The real question should be why the conservative party considers it their business what people watch. Aren't they supposed to be for less government intrusion into your life? Seems they want to have much more control than the liberals and NDP who simply want us to stay out of everyone's private business.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 49 points 9 months ago

If fucking credit bureaus are leaking my data then yeah, you can't trust any company to keep your shit safe

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 months ago

To be fair I'd straight up trust the bigger porn companies more than the credit bureaus. They seem to have a much better grasp on technology and somehow manage to seem less sketchy.

[-] jadero@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

Credit bureaus are just data brokers in disguise, so they're shady, both in concept and by design.

Porn is part of the sex trade, so shady mostly by perception.

I don't really think it's possible to do anything more than try to safeguard my personal information. But if forced to choose between those two, I'll pick a major porn site over a credit bureau every time.

Cyber security 101 in the early 2000’s. Rule 1: never expose your true identity. Today: Ron Johnson at 24 Albatross Lane is watching anal porn, again.

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 32 points 9 months ago

I love how everybody was all “NEVER GIVE ANY INFO ONLINE” until corporations realized you could make bonkers money, then it very quickly shifted to “GIVE ALL YOUR INFO ONLINE”

[-] SheerDumbLuck@lemmy.ca 39 points 9 months ago

Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?

[-] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They put the office floor plan in the leaks, lol, everyone knows where Bob in accounting sits in the office now... That was 100% an inside job, either a disgruntled employee or someone got a job there with the intent of doing some corporate espionage.

[-] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 35 points 9 months ago

The porn companies should together agree that they will create a public record of all conservative politics viewing habits if the bill is passed. This would kill any bills in a millisecond.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

This. Seconded. Stop them dead in their tracks!

[-] psvrh@lemmy.ca 35 points 9 months ago

I don't trust people to write secure code.

I really don't trust people who run low-margin, sketchy businesses like porn sites to write secure code.

That's the issue.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

You will always be able to find a website not beholden to Canadian law

[-] psvrh@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

One of the reasons I don't run my own webserver, or mailserver any more, or Lemmy/Mastodon instance now, is because I don't want the liabillity of having to deal with content I don't control. I'm amazed people run these at all, because it's trivially easy to end up hosting very problematic content and get the attention of government in truly unpleasant ways.

I cannot imagine anyone anywhere in this chain wants the liability of trying to gatekeep content via ID like this. It's a technical impossibility, and a liability quagmire.

[-] i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml 34 points 9 months ago

Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

how is this not the top comment

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 33 points 9 months ago

And he knows they wouldn't be compromised how?

[-] kubica@kbin.social 22 points 9 months ago

Faith. And tactical "oopsies" when the thing that was expected really happens.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, guys, do you pinkie promise to securely track users with no legal standards or requirements in place? This guy will have shocked Pikachu face in 3, 2, 1, ...

[-] trafficnab@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

They know it's not secure, they're hoping it will broadly stop (or at the very least, extremely hinder) people from watching porn

Making anything that isn't missionary position between a married man and woman under the covers with the lights off for the sole purpose of procreation illegal has been a long standing goal of modern conservatives, and they're currently inching their way there

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 26 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's convincing. Really gonna win people over with that one.

[-] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 26 points 9 months ago

Because porn sites are known to be serious, trustworthy entities that definitely don't have a long history of distributing viruses and scammy penis enlargement products, and generally trustworthy ad networks that aren't spooked out by porn as their source of revenue. They totally wouldn't sell user data as extra income.

There totally won't be fake porn sites that needs your credit card and now your ID to verify your age and identity before they show you all those hot chicks in your area.

[-] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 25 points 9 months ago

The porn industry is always trustworthy. They NEVER exploit people...

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

So hey Pierre.

I'm no fan of the LPC from a long time back. But you are convincing me that a Conservative majority will be a shitshow.

You might just snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with this braindead stupidity.

[-] Powerpoint@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

Let's hope they do. They are a dumpster fire. I'm fine with perpetual minority governments with NDP Liberal and Green coalitions or supply and confidence agreement. Give me electoral reform damn it.

Wow. Under what stone has this guy been living since the start of the digital age?

As if any site that stores such data would not be a prime target for hackers for a number of reasons, and as if any site could really defend against a dedicated attack for as long as this law runs.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Being able to out porn viewers is almost certainly the point. I'm sure from their PoV, it's giving them sources of this info that they can subpoena, but if it all leaks publicly, that gives them what they want, too.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago

He should volunteer to provide his info then. Lead by example right?

[-] taanegl@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Surely there won't be a rise in blackmail.

[-] olbaidiablo@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

And when conservative supporters have their gross/kinky/illegal porn tastes leaked, it will be all Trudeau's fault.

[-] Ironfist@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 months ago

This guy is why IT needs to train everybody at work every year to not open attachments from people you dont know, but he still somehow does.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 18 points 9 months ago

Want to see how hypocritical the conservatives are? Replace the word digital ID with masks or mandate

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

What a great way to fund shady vpn companies!!

[-] TheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.ca 15 points 9 months ago

Just wait till someone leaks the freaky shit he's into.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 months ago

I don't mind sharing my name .... Juan Miguel Sanchez from Toronto and I'm 85 years of age ..... I've got nothing to hide

[-] prodigalsorcerer@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago

Nice to meet you Juan. I'm Pierre Poilivere from Calgary, and I love porn. The weirder the better.

[-] blindsight@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

My name is Garnett Genuis. I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta, but I travel for work a lot, mostly to Ottawa.

I love asphyxiation porn. I watch it all the time. It's hard to get enough videos since I've watched them all.

[-] Crow@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago
[-] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Pierre will only allow this, if you show him your pee-pee. You know, like all those other conservatives.

I'm Dr. Nguyen Van Thok from... Uh... someplace far away! Yes that will do.

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 11 points 9 months ago

This guy is a complete tool

[-] rinze@infosec.pub 10 points 9 months ago

I trust there won't be a hack and all that will get leaked.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 7 points 9 months ago
[-] overt_mess@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

he's probably right though, most porn site operators have more integrity than politicians.

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

There is entirely too much potential money to be made and too many interested parties to ever say this.

[-] doylio@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

It would be very stupid to set up a system where you have to give the porn site your ID. Better to just have an attestation that this user is over 18 years old.

There even ways to do this without the government knowing which site you visited with zero knowledge cryptography. But that would probably require everyone to get a Yubi key or equivalent, which might be hard to swallow

[-] Hootz@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

What's on his head?
