Notes from the IAPP Canada: The tongue-tied truth about privacy
A report from the IAPP Canada event reflects on candor and clarity in how privacy professionals talk about privacy — suggesting there may be a gap between what practitioners know and what they say publicly.
Why this matters: Privacy as a field has a communication problem. The people who understand data risk best often speak in the most guarded, qualified language. That leaves everyone else — consumers, policymakers, journalists — working with a softer version of the truth. If privacy professionals cannot say plainly what is wrong, it is harder for anyone outside the field to push for fixes.
