People praising this are unaware of exactly how many different companies have our data. Google works with thousands of different companies that collect our data, amazon works with thousands, facebook works with thousands every internet provider and TV company sells your shit to thousands of different companies
also…just websites? Not databrokers or advertising companies who don’t keep the data on websites? This is a weak half measure that doesn’t even make a dent in the problem
of that turns out to be true, then that’s different.
but from what I understand, databrokers are already required to delete they data they have on you if you request it, but they make the requests very difficult to fill out.
the picture is broken
oh wait…now I see it.

so don’t get excited for positive change until there’s a perfect solution? got it 😀👍
You’re God damn right! I criticize everything that won’t work
If you remove your data from one website you know of the data brokers can still sell it to millions of others
This bill that got signed into law is a waste of time
So lets abolish all laws on the books because people still break them? That doesn’t make sense.
For who?
Data brokers will now have to navigate this law and enforce it or face fines at significant cost to their business model; your data is worth ~$200 a year and they would be fined that much per day if they don’t comply. And audits are coming to ensure compliance. So yes, it will be a big waste of time, but not for us. It’s data brokers who will need to ensure they’re enforcing the policy or face fines that well exceed the cost of business.
Lastly, California started it but now other states are looking to implement similar laws, so its only going to get better.
This is a step in the right direction.
Dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good please.
This image says website, but the law is actually targeted at data brokers.
You’re mad at something you agree with.

So really the bill didn’t change anything at all
They … Made it way easier
Why the fuck are you so determined to hate this?
Not for me on Voyager
Or me on DS9
