News Summary July 26th, 2025

This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, July 26th.  

We start with a solid reminder for Canadians crossing the U.S. border and some important changes in the Canadian privacy landscape. 

There’s our regular scan of access to information and privacy stories across Canada, with an interesting group of stories from Maggie Macintosh at the Winnipeg Free Press. 

Plus, we see the settlement of the lawsuit against Meta, have our now-regular review of the erosion of privacy and access to information in the United States, and look at international stories that came to our attention.
