Good morning.
My name is Tamir Israel, and I am a staff lawyer with the Samuelson-Glushco Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, CIPPIC for short. CIPPIC is grateful for this opportunity to present its views on the privacy implications of social media to the committee.
CIPPIC is a legal clinic based at the University of Ottawa Centre for Law, Technology and Society. We advocate in the public interest on issues arising at the intersection of law and technology.
Since its inception, CIPPIC has taken an active part in legal and policy debates about online privacy, both domestically and internationally. Our clinic filed a complaint that led to the first comprehensive investigation of international social networks' privacy practices.
