The press release from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada:

https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/news-and-announcements/20...


I appreciate this, but I'm having trouble determining if the declaration has teeth or not.

"The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada plans to take the matter to Federal Court to seek an order to force the company to correct its privacy practices.

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for B.C. reserves its right under the Personal Information Protection Act to consider future actions against Facebook"
