[Air-L] Canadian PSA

[Steven James May]

Hi Stephanie,
 
I have yet to spot the PSA, but I'd love to see it. 
 
It sounds right up the alley of my current MA research into the offline impact of UGC/SNS, specifically with regards to matters of privacy.
 
Intentionally or not, the following Rogers Wireless Facebook ad provides additional insight into the impact of (networked) user-generated content...
