cheers. I read somewhere warrant canaries had been outlawed and I just qwanted, it was in my country, australia. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/03/australia_out...

we have some really scary laws. a spook is allowed to force an employee of a company to spy, collect data, install malware on their employer's computers and of course they can't talk about it to anyone.
