Ontario Privacy Commissioner to speak at Online Spying Forum
The government’s Lawful Access bills are poised to drastically change
the state of privacy and telecommunications in Canada as we know it…
and not for better. If this invasive and costly legislation passes, it
will make online spying the norm in Canada and seriously threaten the
privacy and security of all Canadians.
Dr. Cavoukian will be
discussing the dangers of the online spying bills alongside a panel of
legal, privacy, and academic experts.
Building awareness and continuing the discussion around the Lawful
Access bills is integral to introducing balance into the policy
formation process.
Along with fellow privacy commissioners across the country, Dr. Ann
Cavoukian has been very vocal about the pitfalls and dangers of the
online spying bills. If you’re in the Toronto area, be sure to attend!
This is an amazing opportunity to catch some of the leading voices on
Lawful Access in Canada.
