In its January 2016 white paper Online Reputation: What are they saying about me?, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) invited a conversation on the reputational challenges that emerge as more social interactions take place online and content that would have historically been confined to offline archives has become easily searchable.
The OPC discussion paper looks at the issue of online reputation and personal privacy, and sets out the challenges faced by individuals whose online information has a negative impact on their reputation. The OPC is seeking further stakeholder feedback, with the ultimate aim of putting forth a position on solutions.
While this is a substantive issue that will require inputs from a broad range of stakeholders, the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) is pleased to provide a technology industry perspective on how the government can better use existing tools and work with the technology industry and other stakeholders to help Canadians to protect their online reputation.
The ITAC Response Paper [Warning: PDF] is available now.
