Abstract
This presentation was made for Lou D'Alton's Information Policy class in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies. It looks at the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Douez v Facebook Inc where the court declined to dismiss an action brought against Facebook Inc for breach of privacy. The action was based on the B.C. Privacy Act and it was brought as a class action in B.C.\nFacebook sought to dismiss the action because of a "choice of forum" clause in its terms of service agreement which said that disputes will be brought in California courts.\nThis presentation looks at the case in greater detail and also considers its implications for other consumer license agreements where terms often purport to supersede statutory rights. The author would like to thank Prof. D'Alton and the Library & Information Science graduate students in his class for their thoughtful feedback and questions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
