The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada published guidance for teens related to privacy and sexual text messages. "When it comes to privacy, the best approach for sexting is the same as for any other activity: don't put it online unless you're OK with everyone seeing it from your grandmother to your classmates to a stranger halfway around the world," the OPC said, also noting the possibility that devices with data stored on them could be hacked or stolen.
