California Passes Bill Requiring Easier Data Sharing Opt Outs

• m463 2y ago
  This seems to actually address the browser - a browser must have an easy-to-use opt-out signal. https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB3048/id/2932358/California-2023-AB3048-Introduced.html https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB3048/id/2932358/California-20... wonder if this only applies to chrome/safari/firefox, or possibly apps too.

  > California legislators on Wednesday passed a bill which requires internet browsers and mobile operating systems to allow consumers to easily opt out from the sharing and selling of their private data with websites which use it for targeted advertising. I take it then that this legislation will not help, for example, keep my location data and driving behavioral data private? Why does it need to be only for browsers or mobile OS and why only for use in targeted advertising?

  Opt out is bullshit. How about privacy by default.
