Governments should require companies to ask permission to disclose information unless it involves a criminal investigation

 @B3YW962from Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

Companies should be banned from collecting personal data, and anyone that is found guilty of collecting the private data of citizens should be given the death penalty.

 @B37ZXR2from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, especially if the companies utilizing personal data collection are found to be selling the information to third parties

 @B2SZMQDfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, the government should crack down hard on all personal data use by companies, while considering the safety concerns of doing so.

 @B29PP76from Newfoundland  answered…4mos4MO

Federally we should focus on aligning our PIPEDA with the GDPR and staying aligned with international processes for data transfers.

 @B23CRQ3from Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Ban the collectiona and use of personal data by companies and revoke licence to practice of companies that dio this.

 @9TN6ZYVfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No, personal data safety is the responsibility of the individual; current law require companies to provide terms of use and data collection as is.

 @9TBHMLTfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No, personal safety is one's own responsibility; legislature in place requires companies to generate Terms of Use agreements that consumers sign.

Yes, and they should be accountable for the current data collected without consent to the scope of their use.

Abolish the collection of personal data by companies

 @9N6PVFHanswered…11mos11MO

No, but make these companies to clearly mention where and how data will be used.

 @9MS5K6Xfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes. If the use of personal data violates liberal values, the collection of said data should be regulated.

Do you believe children and teenagers should have more stringent data privacy protections online? Why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

In a world that's constantly online, what does privacy mean to you personally?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

If you could change one thing about how companies handle your data, what would it be and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Can you share a time when an ad online felt eerily specific to you? How did it make you feel?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How would you feel if your online searches today were made public tomorrow?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Do you think there should be a limit on what personal data companies can collect? Why or why not?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How much privacy are you willing to sacrifice for convenience in your daily digital interactions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Have you ever read a privacy policy in full before using a service? What influenced your decision?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Would you pay for a service you currently use for free if it meant your data wouldn't be collected?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How do you decide which apps or services get to access your personal information?

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
