In which we continue to explore important internet and privacy law developments from the “dark 9 months” period of this little corner of the internet. And in this post I tackle three court cases for the price of one, and talk about an important potential federal law and talk about an enacted provincial law! Talk about efficiency!
I am a lawyer specializing in internet law working out of Montreal, though sometimes I do it in front of the U.S. Capitol. That should tell you what you need to know about internet law in Canada. I also warp young legal minds at the Faculty of Law at McGill.
More about meI was devastated recently to hear of the tragic passing of one of my favourite (and best) students I ever taught, Thomas Bernier-Villeneuve. Thank you @LawMcGill for establishing a scholarship in his memory https://www.mcgill.ca/law/alumni/support-thomas-bernier-villeneuve-memorial-scholarship
In which we begin to try to catch up on [/checks date] 9 months of internet law developments. How does this writing thing work again?
Hey-o! It’s your friendly neighbourhood internet law commenter, back after a flurry of year-end posts to his much more normal one post every 3 months schedule. But with the government proposing a “law” about the “internet” I guess I really need to write about that. Let’s get news-y!
Oh hai! Still a couple of hours left to celebrate #DataPrivacyDay, #DataPrivacyCentury, or whatever. Meh, privacy. Who needs it.
I keed. YOU need privacy of course! Keep the man off your data. To celebrate, go ahead and watch me in the video above, giving a talk about, I dunno, privacy or something. It’s been a whirlwind #DataPrivacyWeek for me, being an expert and so forth I am in demand! Above was the talk I gave at McGill. Besides the terrible “uh’s” and “um’s”, it’s not too bad! And a good summary of what’s coming in Quebec’s new privacy law, and how it helps you. Enjoy! Slides here to download if you really can’t get enough of me. Now go be private.
