Yeah, couldn't quite recall what the relevant bill in Canada was, or even how much it could be taken for granted for years after the initial Snowden reveals, the five eyes pretty much makes certain expectations of privacy moot. And that is without going into how future impacts from the TPP come into play. "The TPP's Electronic Commerce and Telecommunications Chapters establish only the weakest baseline for the protection of your private data—even enforcing self-regulation by the companies that profit from your data is enough. On the other hand, stronger privacy laws are outlawed if they amount to an “arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade.”"
Still think mulling over the topic, and how it pertains to the site can't be a bad thing, especially with how between twitter, and reddit, this conversation is just going to push the idea of transparency reports more front and centre, and why they matter even if they are just a form of civil protest over the authoritarian measures in place in different countries.
EDIT: Though I do think if the topic ends up being, "these are flawed, because that is the current state of affairs" is hilarious, frightening, and indicative of one of the reasons why I still browse this site more then some others.
