I apologize because I don't know the specifics, and you may not be able to answer because I don't know enough about it, but I have heard tell of a case going on in B.C., a suit being brought against Facebook for the use of some personal information. Part of what is at issue is that there's a clause in the Facebook user agreement that says you can only litigate in California. Without prejudging the outcome of that trial, even if we have some of the best privacy protection laws in Canada, how vulnerable are we? Is there anything we can do about those agreements that people agree to without really reading and that force them to litigate outside the boundaries that would be protected by an updated privacy law?
