Basically, a Canadian court ruled today, that per Canadian law, Canada can censor the entire internet (in their case against Google as precedent).  But then Canada is part of the Five Eyes!

the only part I understood was the clap trap that they would be blocking information that Americans have a Constitutional right to know. There isnt any Constitutional right to know anything. To say that it applies to the internet is pulling fake news outa your ass. To say it applies to Canadian internet is making fake news outa somebody elses ass

Does EFF stand foe eccentric funny frauds?

I must disagree with you on this.  I maintain there IS a right to know how the government operates and what it is doing.

I base this on the following premise:  The citizenry are not clients or customers of the Government; instead the members of the Government are our employees and answerable to us in all ways at all times.  We do in some special circumstances grant them the right to some secrets (as intergovernmental relations are sometimes like a chess game when the strategy should not be known), but in general we the people have a right to know all for the betterment of choosing our employees!

Here here ... I wish you were right Cavebear.  But we know what the government folks really think, particularly at the top.  They don't see themselves as employees except for their rich sponsors.
