Interesting reading...
The IAJGS Records Access Alert has frequently discussed the problems that Facebook encounters in the European Union. Now they are facing a major problem in the United States: potential breakup due to a coalition, Freedom from Facebook, asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to break them up due to their privacy policies and suggests they have a monopoly. The coalition is asking control be given to its 2 billion users. They are alleging that Facebook is in violation of a 2011 consent decree it signed with FTC. If the FTC finds that Facebook is in violation of the consent decree the penalties could run in the trillions of dollars.
The 2011 consent decree required Facebook to get consent from users before sharing their data with third parties and Facebook agreed to have a third-party conduct audits of its privacy practices every two years. Facebook does not believe it has violated the consent decree.
The coalition asserts that Facebook and its subsidiaries such as Whats App and Messenger account for more than three-quarters of mobile social networking traffic in the United States.
Freedom from Facebook recommends three main remedies:
1. Spinning off WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger;
2. Enforcing interoperability standards, similar to what the FTC imposed on AOL Messenger during the AOL-Time Warner merger settlement in 2001; and
3. imposing strict privacy rules.

The Library and Archives Canada (LAC) announced this week the launch of an expanded version of their research guide : Finding Aid 300: Other Census and Related Documents (1640-1945).
The guide is for the early census and related records at the LAC mainly dating from 1640 to the 1800s with some records from the 1900s including the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador from 1921-1945. To access the guide see:
One of the new features of the this finding aid are images of most documents.
The LAC also updated their census page which includes links to their databases of census returns 1825 t0 1921—the census of the Prairie Provinces of 1926 ( Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were transferred to LAC June 1, 2018 and an index in currently being developed. A release date is not yet announced.
Census in Canada took place every 10 years from 1851 to 1901. The first census of the Dominion of Canada took place in 1871, prior to that enumerations were conducted in different areas in different years. In 1905, the Census and Statistics Act required a general census to occur in 1911 and every 10 years thereafter. A census of population and agriculture was to be taken in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1906, and every 10 years thereafter.
There is a 92 year embargo period for release of the census to the public.
To access the updated census page See: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx
The Library and Archives Canada Blog has a post about the early census records located at: https://thediscoverblog.com/2018/08/21/researching-early-census-records/
