I'm never setting foot in the US again. Thank goodness I'm Canadian.

    Watch out for Bill C2. It requires companies to collect data on you (Canadian citizens) and shields them from "accidentally" oversharing it.

    Could you please clarify? Is that referring to legal protection in the case of a consumer data breach? Because that'd be highly objectionable

    All I can tell you is what I read on the linked page because I haven't analyzed the bill itself.

    Impact on ALL Canadians:

    Companies must keep records of your personal data under secret government orders, with blanket immunity for privacy violations for handing over more than they should.

    Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that's a benefit :(
