Data Privacy Day Wrap-Up

Posted by timothy on from the now-the-truth-can-be-told dept.

Several companies, government bodies and other groups have decided to label January 28th as an annual tech holiday of sorts, Data Privacy Day. Mortimer.CA writes "Various organizations had events on it including Intel, Microsoft, Google, and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. It seems to have been mostly a quiet affair this time around, but hopefully it will grow over time."

    It's Privacy Day. They were trying to keep it, you know. Private. Like your name.

    Either that or this is just some stupid thing so that these companies can say "See? We're doing something about privacy! We had a Data Privacy Day!"

    Or both.
