News Summary April 26th, 2025

This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, April 26th.  

It’s Election day on Monday, April 28th! 

We’ll start with the historic fines and action being taken against Meta and Apple in the European Union for privacy violations.  

We’ll shift to the privacy and access to information stories from across Canada, including great reminders about Border search and seizures by US Border Agents.  

That will lead us into our, now regular, look south of the border and internationally. 

We’ll wrap with a clip from our upcoming commentary between FIPA President Mike Larsen, Executive Director Jason Woywada, and Legal Researcher Spencer Izen taking a look at Canada's Federal Election discussing FIPA surveys questionnaires and guides.
