The Internet is designed to be hard to kill. It was specifically meant to survive a nuclear apocalypse, after all. So it feels only right that when the Internet is under an existential threat, it's going to be by accident.

And did I mention it could soon become law? In this lighting talk, we will: - Run through how Bill S-210 threatens to break encryption in Canada; - How the broad scope of the Bill would make it impossible for the Canadian Internet to connect with the global Internet; and - What you can do to keep the Internet safe.
