Excuse me?! Go back to Dimension X, you Lizard-person
What happened to Canada having the most robust privacy protections?!
I'm sorry, what?? We have privacy protections?
When I first came to Canada, around 2002, Canada had some of the most robust privacy protections in the world.
I've always felt they were very lacking and punishments seem to be just "the cost of doing business". It has always felt like we had to take care of our own privacy and when that fails just hope that our system protects us. We are still quite behind in this digital world, at least we only pay lip service to entities like MPAA and RIAA
The world has changed so significantly in the timeframe I'm referencing. I'm not surprised its changed, but we definitely need to address this kind of thing as a country.
I used to manage my cell phone privacy by disabling data. Now thats included in my basic cell phone package, I need to be more proactive. As consumers, we need to be proactively choosing to engage with this ckntent, not just passively letting it wash over us. But thats easier said than done when the companies with the money to fight this are all pushing the version of the world where they feed off your data like parasites.
