In his annual report tabled in Parliament today, Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien slammed the government for not taking necessary steps to protect Canadians' privacy. Therrien said Canadians can't wait years to see deficient privacy laws fixed. Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien says Canadians need privacy laws that reflect the new digital landscape in Canada and the risks to privacy that have come with it. At issue is "de-indexing," the process through which a web page, image or other online resource is removed from search engine results. Privacy advocates say Canadians should have the right to remove certain search engine results to protect their reputations, and that the right already exists within current privacy laws.
