Rogers opens curtain on warrantless government snooping:
OTTAWA—Rogers Communications gave Canadians their first real peek behind the curtain of warrantless government snooping Thursday, revealing they were asked almost 175,000 times for their customers’ data in 2013.
Rogers became the first major Canadian telecommunications provider to issue a transparency report, revealing aggregate numbers on how many law enforcement requests they receive in a year.
More telecom and Internet service providers are expected to follow suit, as Canadian customers learn more about the scope of government access to their personal data.
