I agree. PIPEDA is sufficiently flexible to allow us to take into account the changes due to new technologies.

In 2001, there was no Twitter, Facebook, Google or LinkedIn. None of those services existed at the time. And yet those organizations and the Office of the Commissioner managed to resolve complaints and they still do. Technology does evolve, but PIPEDA is flexible enough to allow us to adapt to these changes. As I mentioned previously, the act was drafted with an eye to keeping it neutral.
