Net Change Week 2010 – Canada, check your privacy settings from MaRS Discovery District on Vimeo.
I participated in the MaRs NetChange panel on the topic of “Canada, check your privacy settings,” with Ontario’s Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian and moderated by Jesse Hirsh.
We are pleased to announce a new project this summer in the Citizen Lab, called the “Global Network Initiative Monitor” or “GNI Monitor” for short.
The project’s mission statement can be downloaded here.
The project will combine technical and contextual research methods to measure compliance of both participants and non-participants to the GNI principles, as well as evaluate the GNI process overall.

I gave a presentation last night to the 6th Annual Privacy and Security Conference on the work of the OpenNet Initiative.
Later this week is a conference on Privacy and Security sponsored by the Centre for Innovation and Law (UofT), the Centre for Applied Cryptographic Research (Waterloo), and the Ontario Privacy Commission. I’ll be speaking there on a panel on Privacy and Homeland Security.
