All data brokers in the state.
So they move out of state.
You can make whatever laws you want. These guys are in business because they circumvent those laws.
This new one looks like it’s meant to make people feel safer but not actually do anything to curb these data hoarders.
So other places need to implement similar laws.
The world doesn’t work like that. They’ll move to poor countries, flood the local government officials with gifts, and set up shop there. The fuck some guy in Uganda or Belize gives a shit about you and your “data.”
We just need to reign in tech companies that they just can’t get this data. Period. That’s the only way. Cut it off at the source.
The law applies to any data broker that buys and sells the information of Californians not just the ones based in the state
