nooo don’t delete california

Hello_there,

"By January 2026, the California Privacy Protection Agency must create a way for people to make data brokers delete their data with a single request."
We have a few years to wait.

pineapplelover,

It’s a step. A massive step in the right direction.

Which will soon be forgotten about due to the 24x7 news cycle, and minimal progress (if any) will be made by 2026.

pineapplelover,

It’s better than no step at all. His announcement of this will get the attention of more legislators and other governors from other states and as long as people support stuff like this, then we can influence more privacy protecting laws.

gibmiser,

Once again, thank you. California for leading the way for the rest of the USA.

vector_zero,

I tend to disagree with a lot of Californian politics, but hot damn are their pro consumer laws the best. Can’t wait for 2026.

reversebananimals,

Stop voting against them then. The republicans you support would gut these laws first chance they get.

California could start by forbidding its own DMV from selling this data to data brokers in the fucking first place.

Sounds awesome. Hopefully this catches on elsewhere.
