The ISED Canada⁩ Retaliation Files: The Fight for Truth - Part 5 - ATIP Violates the Privacy Act

📺 Part 5 – Weaponized Transparency: ISED’s Privacy Act Violations

In this episode, I examine how Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada ( @ISEDCanada ) appears to have misused personal information obtained via Privacy Act requests and unauthorized web scraping to support its procedurally defective Section 6.1(1) application.

I outline how internal surveillance techniques — including data linkage to Echo 12(b) — were never lawfully authorized by the Privacy Commissioner, and how ISED’s use of scraped or ATIP-linked identifiers to frame a narrative of "vexation" may constitute a direct violation of the Privacy Act.

This is not only a misuse of access rights — it’s a potential breach of federal privacy protections and a chilling attempt to reframe researcher activity as bad faith.

🧠 This episode includes a legal breakdown of:

The limits of Echo 12(b) as a classification

Procedural defects under Section 6.1(1)

The line between passive surveillance and rights infringement

This isn't bureaucracy. It’s bureaucracy on offense.
