WINDSOR – On Tuesday, NDP MP Brian Masse (Windsor West) wrote to the privacy commissioner urging them to investigate the impacts of having X (formerly known as Twitter) on government devices and whether having X could potentially put Canadians personal information in jeopardy.
X collects user data – including posts, likes bookmarks and reposts – with no transparency on what the information is being used for.
“Billionaire Elon Musk uses X to campaign for his preferred political candidates,” said Masse. “He has supported Trump’s idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States. He also has considerable data from our elected officials and Canadians and we need an investigation into what could be at risk regarding our national security, especially given where he stands on our sovereignty.”
“It’s why I have called on the privacy commissioner to investigate the impacts of having X on government devices so Canadians can have transparency into how their data is being used,” added Masse.
