The internet is going to look, and work, a little different starting today. That’s because Californians have new rights over how their personal information is gathered, stored and sold by any company operating in the state as of Jan. 1, thanks to the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA.with the law, you’ve probably seen a rash of pop-up notifications and emails about privacy policy updates.
Companies subject to the law have to provide at least an email address and a toll-free phone number where you can submit these requests, which you should be able to find in their privacy policies. And this information is personal. The law concerns information that is specific enough that it could be clearly linked to you or your household. That includes things like your name, address, IP address, device ID number, social security number, email address, purchasing history, face or fingerprint image, browsing or search history, physical location, employment or education information, audio or video recordings, and even descriptions of your physical characteristics.
Alastair Mactaggart, the San Francisco real estate developer who led the initial effort to have this privacy law passed as a ballot measure in 2018, has always maintained the law wasn’t intended to abolish targeted advertising.
Yea right! Opt out just provides them w your info so they continue to sell it or market it to u. Not until there are serious penalties, companies are in business to make money from your data. Just adapt EU digital policy and stop talking shat.
Can users ask Google to delete their data?
No it isn’t. You are relying on the good will of big tech. That is a fundamental mistake.
Is this for every state or just California? 👀👀👀 pleasebeeverystate
Hey, this is why I dont use your website Aka, never used it until I just tried.
Well this sounds good on paper. But when you have people forging for fake IDs, this will be a problem.
What do they do for us?
Is YouTube about to treat progressives fairly? Of course not. His Facebook about to become a public utility in California? Of course not.
Show ID? Isn't this a racist law? How are black people supposed to use the privacy law? Democrats tell us over and over black people are suppressed because they need an ID to vote.
