Telecoms move in right direction on privacy:
Telus and Rogers won rare pats on the back for their decision to stop routinely handing out basic customer information to police and security agencies without seeing a warrant first.
It’s important to note that, while warrants will be required for police, they won’t necessarily be required for any agencies that already enjoy statutory authority to request information from telecommunications companies. So security agencies will continue to access data, often without warrant, despite what the Star has written.
