If you read Section 1798.140 of the Civil Code:
“Commercial purposes” means to advance a person's commercial or economic interests, such as by inducing another person to buy, rent, lease, join, subscribe to, provide, or exchange products, goods, property, information, or services, or enabling or effecting, directly or indirectly, a commercial transaction."

Basically SB690 means that a business can spy on us including our most private data and use it for anything that makes them money like selling it to data brokers or to the government.
- phendrenad2 1y agoNo offense to you in particular, but HN makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills, or on the Truman Show sometimes. If I had a dream where someone replied to my analysis of the law here with "if you read this section of the law it says X" and then provided a link, and I already KNEW that what they were saying was untrue, because I posted that link a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44202153 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44202153), but I clicked it anyway, only to find that they had mixed-up separate parts of that law and paraphrased them badly, I'd wake up and think "wow I need to touch grass". But yet, here it is happening in front of my eyes.
