The scenario described in the text reflects the concern identified in the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's (2012) report that Canadians are concerned about their lack of knowledge concerning their privacy rights and feel a corresponding lack of ability to protect media-related privacy. The elderly woman in the scenario did not set up a password to protect her phone because of a lack of knowledge regarding how to do so, which is an example of this concern. Option A is incorrect because the report does identify significant concerns related to media use and privacy related issues. Option C is incorrect because the report identifies that Canadians do not passively follow the American standards of media use and personal privacy policy. Option D is incorrect because while the report does discuss the role of law enforcement and government agencies in protecting privacy, it also identifies concerns related to individual knowledge and self-protection.
