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…2mos2MO

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

 @9T6X9HJfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9NSYVS2from British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

Abolish the collection of personal data by companies

 @9N6PVFHanswered…6mos6MO

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

 @9MS5K6Xfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

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

 @9MNG73Zfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
