It is generally foolish to trust claims of data anonymization from a megacorp. So with the government, your ability to believe them will be based on your existing faith in your government's intent and technical prowess. I think Canadians are generally split on the former and quite pessimistic about the latter.
- newsbinator 5y agoIf they didn't anonymize the data, or tried but failed to, then we can hold them to account for that. But the government didn't create this door or open this door. Whether or not they access this data, it's there to be accessed. Might as well use it for public good, and create a framework for using it safely.
