I fortunately think you might be wrong, and unfortunately for this article nowhere is it mentioned that large corporations are actually the ones leading the charge to push for a national privacy law because obviously from a regulatory cost perspective for a multinational, multi-state company, it is much cheaper to have to comply with one law than 50.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoMost companies (if you do business in California, which is likely considering it's the world's fifth largest economy) will need to abide by California's privacy law [California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (AB 375)] about to go into effect on January 1, 2020. No need to fret because the federal government dropped the ball. https://www.wired.com/story/california-unanimously-passes-historic-privacy-bill/ https://www.wired.com/story/california-unanimously-passes-hi... https://fortune.com/2019/09/13/what-is-ccpa-compliance-california-data-privacy-law/ https://fortune.com/2019/09/13/what-is-ccpa-compliance-calif... https://www.pillsburylaw.com/en/news-and-insights/ccpa-privacy-policy.html https://www.pillsburylaw.com/en/news-and-insights/ccpa-priva...
- magduf 7y agoNo, they won't have to abide by California's law if the federal government jumps in and preempts them, the way Trump is doing with California's emissions laws.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoTrump is _attempting_ to do; automakers, intelligently, have decided to abide by California’s laws (which will outlast this federal administration and their broken EPA policy) and California is suing the federal government in response. States rights is a thing (a court just ruled states could implement their own stricter net neutrality legislation after the FCC voided theirs).
