The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data brokers don’t comply with these rules, the bill stipulates they be fined or otherwise penalized.

Hopefully this becomes the standard nation wide. Having a single page where you can delete your accounts on multiple services with a single click sounds like a data privacy dream.

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.
