CIPPIC, the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy & Public Interest Clinic, is Canada’s only public interest technology law clinic. CIPPIC is unique in Canada, bringing together a team of expert legal professionals and students to advocate for the public interest in policy debates arising from the intersection of law and technology. Defense of privacy rights and civil liberties is central to CIPPIC’s work. In this short presentation, CIPPIC Director David Fewer provides an overview of the privacy challenges posed by digital technologies already in the market or just over the horizon, and the law’s response to those challenges.
