| Abstract: | Everyone is familiar with the tired joke about Canadians: that if you bump into us, we apologize. Last month, Facebook bumped into Canada in a big way - but rather than say sorry, we responded by issuing a subpoena. Our parliamentary Ethics and Privacy Committee issued a formal summons to Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg to appear before a special session at the end of this month. On Monday, an extraordinary international gathering of legislators will come together in Ottawa to conduct hearings into the impact of the platform data-opolies, such as Facebook and Google, on the privacy and democratic rights of their citizens.
