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

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.

Given Canada’s ruling class trends toward promotion of virtually any perversion you care to name I expect heterosexual monogamy and church attendance will be revealed as scandalous behaviors meriting state surveillance.
