And while they're at it, they should take a look at the data that Google collects from kids using Chrome and Chromebooks.

But I'm certain there were more similar suits in the USA. I don't think there's been one in Canada.
Some of this is based on Canada's political/judicial system being more similar to international norms. Canada doesn't have the strange state/federal split of the US. Nor does it have the unwritten "constitution" of the UK. So European/Asian countries can more easily translate Canadian policy this into their systems. The IT companies appreciate this too. They will want to strike a deal in Canada because that deal will very likely be mirrored elsewhere. This finding and resulting deals will have great impact.
Gross and appropriate.

Post anything about the issues with immigration in the UK? That is straight to jail territory now, and they know just where to find you.
I’m not joking. I want to know what happened to the people that created the British empire. What was at one point the most wealthy and successful nation on the planet. Where are those people?
