Supreme Court of Canada case over Facebook and privacy law: What you should know (youtube.com)
Consent needs to be 'meaningful.' It can't be 'passive' and it needs to be 'informed.'
Because privacy takes a long time to make its way through our courts, and since big tech companies work at speed (in fact their slogan is 'move fast break things'), should we have another court for big tech specifically, because a 3 or 5 year case is essentially ineffective in upholding law in these cases?
The same could be said about the rules that only ask tech companies to allow you to turn off anti-privacy settings, since they make those hard to find in their app, and then just change the interface regularly and reset your settings. Obviously, this is counter-problem solving.
The US 'has no federal privacy protection.'
Canada's privacy commissioners may be helpful in articulating concerns, have no power over enforcement or fines, unlike Europe.
