Promising 'Bellwether' or Utter Failure? California Passes Landmark Privacy Law for Online Data

While some critics worry the legislation doesn't nearly go far enough, other observers are saying 'California could be the bellwether for the privacy movement' after the state legislature on Thursday unanimously passed and Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the nation's toughest digital privacy rules.

' Despite the differences, AB375 is similar enough to the ballot initiative that Mactaggart's campaign agreed to withdraw its measure if the governor signed the law by the withdrawal deadline, which he did. 'We are thrilled that AB375 has become law. This is a monumental achievement for consumers, with California leading the way in creating unprecedented consumer protections for the rest of the nation,' Mactaggart said Thursday.
