I think local law is absolutely the way to change big company practices. We keep thinking we need to change US or world law to affect privacy practices, but in reality, local laws can absolutely make these large companies re-think the consequences of rolling out something. It might be a drop in the bucket for them, but these stories teach other jurisdictions that they too can fight back.
I mean think about prop 65 warnings. Nearly every box in the US has these warnings because of one state's law. (Not arguing for or against prop 65 here - that's a different issue - but look at what effect it has on the entire system)
