Canadians’ digital safety calls for strong whistleblower and security researcher protection! When crafting digital policies, the protection of whistleblowers and public interest researchers has been a major blindspot. My latest in The Hill Times: hilltimes.com/story/2023/07/…

My op-ed in The Hill Times argues that #BillC27 's proposed data protection law reform is necessary but not sufficient @uOttawaTechLaw hilltimes.com/story/2023/07/… via @thehilltimes

I spent last year as Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario's first scholar-in-residence. I so grateful to the Commissioner and her terrific team for the opportunity.

On Wednesday, August 30 from 3-5pm ET, I'm teaming up with Adam Kardash and Sam Ip for a workshop on the federal governments proposed 'code of practice' for #generativeAI . It's free and open - join us: accessprivacy.com/events/2023/is… @uOttawaTechLaw

So this - a report about trends, risks, legislation, etc., re: algorithms generally and AI specifically - is actually a really interesting idea. Kinda want to 'borrow' it for Canada.

Oh Air Canada ! Left home yesterday morning for a two hour flight to Halifax. Today I’m sitting in Toronto (further away) still trying to get there. It would have been faster to drive. With an overnight stop. And cheaper.

I’ve made the move to Bluesky. Find me at Teresa Scassa.bsky.social
