Final Answer :
Students should discuss the fact that Canadians are now realizing that information they post on social media or in emails or other communications can be easily intercepted, made public, or redirected to others who might misuse it. Anonymity is no longer guaranteed. The recent example could be the Federal Privacy Commissions investigation into Facebook and their allegedly sharing personal information with Cambridge Analytica.
