Unfortunately, our Charter, various PIPEDA laws and our courts recognize only a very weak form of privacy that is not up to the task of dealing with the wholesale collection and aggregation of personal data that's going on in the public and private sectors. <br /><br />For example, judges and other adjudicators routinely rule that people have no reasonable expectation of privacy when out in public. And it's certainly true that we reasonably expect to be viewed by others while in public. But that isn't at all the same thing as giving the government, insurers and employers the right to video record everything we do in public, to permanently keep that information, to sell it, and to aggregate it with other information in order to develop a more detailed picture off our lives than even we can remember. We understand intuitively that these privacy concerns are different, but many judges don't.<br /><br />The same applies to our online presence, which is why we're both posting under pseudonyms. Isolated data points aren't a big threat to our privacy. It's the aggregation of those points and the potential for manipulation that's the threat.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-68012632991097876312018-03-25T16:26:15.753-07:002018-03-25T16:26:15.753-07:00We have problems closer to home..

We need updated laws that can address the cyber or digital reality. Even robocalls have become antiquated. <br /><br />Mention the perils and pitfalls of social media or the foundational importance of privacy as the anchor of civil and political rights and you're apt to be met with incredulity. Many, especially the young, either don't believe it or they simply don't care.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-77823215736605664182018-03-25T14:58:24.470-07:002018-03-25T14:58:24.470-07:00The best we've got is CEA s. 91?!

Nor is it much good against disparaging statements phrased as questions or rumours, both of which were widely used by Trump in the last election.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
