10:00 – Google is sharing cell phone data with Canadian politicians and health officials, in order to help track citizens’ movements during the COVID-19 pandemic, but many people are uncomfortable with the government having such direct access to their information. Dr. Ann Cavoukian, who served as Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner, says this debate is just beginning, but it’s possible for the government to use this data without putting privacy at risk, as long as the data is “strongly de-identified and then re-aggregated” to ensure individual privacy is strictly maintained. Cavoukian joins Gormley to discuss the issue. Should governments have access to this data? Call 1-877-332-8255 and tell us what you think!
