Our personal data has turned into a valuable asset, and no one has leveraged it better than the tech giants behind our web searches, online services, and social media accounts. Canada’s privacy watchdog has repeatedly warned Canadians that companies are increasingly cashing in on their personal data—even if it comes at the expense of our right to privacy.
