#SmartHome devices are all the rage these days with
#SmartThermostats,
#SmartCameras &
#DigitalAssistants like
#GoogleHome &
#AmazonAlexa being the 2 most popular. However, do we really consider the
#privacy implications & are our privacy
#laws able to keep up?
#Canada is expected to update its privacy
#legislation,
#PIPEDA (which was introduced back in 2002) with
#BillC27 to modernize it. However, critics say that it doesn't go far enough and that
#EU's
#GDPR is still regarded as the "gold standard". Critics also want to see
#Canada make privacy as a
#HumanRight as part of the new updated law.
Frankly, I agree, we should import many of the concepts the
#EU has put into
#GDPR & bring it into a Canadian context.
