I thought for sure that Carney would use this case as an excuse to push Bill C-22, but this story shows that surveillance bill wouldn't have made a difference. OpenAI already had the capability to track and then report this, and just... didn't. "Cops need lawful access to keep us safe" is bullshit.

Capitalism creates a violent, parasitic system that forces people to create spaces outside exploitation, only to have venture capitalists swoop in and take over those spaces in the name of shareholder profit. It doesn't matter how pure your intentions are when building something.
