The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data brokers don’t comply with these rules, the bill stipulates they be fined or otherwise penalized.
Hopefully this becomes the standard nation wide. Having a single page where you can delete your accounts on multiple services with a single click sounds like a data privacy dream.
Not gonna lie, on first glance I was expecting EU legislation. However, if this becomes federal, it might provoke the entire world to follow suit.
A great initiative in any case.
Doesn’t have to become federal. You could use a VPN and say you’re in California. They will probably just start assuming all requests are valid Californian. It’s quite possible California just changed the world.
