Sure, of course not, but a near panic attack still seems a bit... out of proportion.

  If you have run a business small enough that you don't have a lawyer on standby then you might understand a little better. I have, and received a real legal threat. A bit of panic as you contemplate the financial devastation & wreckage it might leave your life in... well, a little bit of panic is actually a pretty reasonable response there. If you've been in that situation and been totally calm about it then that's a good thing for you, but that's not the common response for someone contemplating a life-changing encounter with the legal system.

    These businesses should have been aware of this already. It is their own fault for not being aware of their status and preparing for it. In no way anyone but they are to blame in this case.

      I think you didn’t read my original blog post that’s linked here. I’m not a business. They send the email to me regarding my personal, hobby, zero-revenue website. I have no legal obligations under the CCPA, but I didn’t know that until I spent a few stressed-out hours researching this. Even then I was worried about the idea of being sued over it anyway, and having to explain to a court why I believed I shouldn’t be liable for damages.
