January 28 is Data Privacy Day

Posted by timothy on from the national-brotherhood-week dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A bit early, but just a reminder that January 28 is international Data Privacy Day in the U.S., Canada, and many European countries. Various events are being held around the globe: the head of the FTC opened a weekend forum on the topic by calling out Facebook and Google, the Ontario Privacy Commissioner is holding a symposium on 'Surveillance by Design', and of course Google recently announced they'll be tracking you more thoroughly in the future."

    I declare January 29th, "No More Trumped Up Lame Ass Days Day". Also, it's my sister's birthday.
