The goal is to erode privacy, and the pearl clutching about children is always the excuse. There are a lot of groups who want to eliminate privacy online: cops, copyright holders, and religious nuts to name a few. They're the ones driving this stuff.

I'm kind of disappointed that the Ndp voted in favor of this bullshit plan.

Ugh. I hadn't heard. I expected better, but the NDP have been a terrible disappointment in the last decade or so.
