多伦多VPN供应商Psiphon宣布，如果加拿大联邦政府的《合法接入法案》（Bill C-22）以现行形式通过，将撤离加拿大 1。该法案将要求电子服务提供商在其系统中进行秘密修改，为警方和加拿大安全情报局提供监管及监控能力 1。
Psiphon拥有2000万月度用户，主要为伊朗、缅甸、俄罗斯和中国等国的用户提供规避在线审查的服务 1。该公司的前身是由Citizen Lab在2006年创建的项目，后来成为私人运营的企业 1。Citizen Lab主任Ron Deibert对该法案提出批评，称其"将使大量宝贵的隐私保护工具和应用无法在加拿大运营" 1。
Psiphon, a Toronto-based VPN provider, has announced it will leave Canada if Bill C-22, the proposed federal lawful-access legislation, is enacted in its current form.1 The bill would require electronic service providers to make covert modifications to their systems to grant surveillance capabilities to police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency.1
The decision carries significant implications for Psiphon's global user base, which numbers approximately 20 million monthly users.1 The company primarily serves populations in Iran, Myanmar, Russia, and China, helping them circumvent online censorship in their respective countries.1 Originally launched in 2006 as a project by Citizen Lab before becoming a private enterprise, Psiphon has positioned itself as a privacy protection tool in highly censored regions.
Ron Deibert, director of Citizen Lab, has expressed concern about the legislation's broader impact, stating that Bill C-22 "would make a significant number of valuable privacy-protection tools and applications unable to operate in Canada."1
