François-Philippe Champagne and the former Facebook project manager discussed “how governments can step up to protect citizens—in particular children” from “hate and misinformation that result from the misuse of people’s data online,” Canada’s innovation minister tweeted Friday, after a Paris meeting. (The Logic)

Talking point: Policymakers around the world have been eager to hear directly from Frances Haugen since her October “60 Minutes” interview, in which she alleged the company has put its own interests ahead of those of users and the public good. She’s since testified before parliamentary committees in the U.S., U.K. and the EU. Friday’s conversation with Champagne focused on “transparency when it comes to corporate collection and uses of data,” a senior government official told The Logic, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The official cited plans to table privacy legislation in the new Parliament, which resumes later this month. Legal experts have argued changes to consent provisions in the Liberal government’s last such bill, C-11, doesn’t adequately protect children’s privacy rights. Champagne was in Paris for the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, of which Canada is the outgoing co-chair.
