The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data brokers don’t comply with these rules, the bill stipulates they be fined or otherwise penalized.
Hopefully this becomes the standard nation wide. Having a single page where you can delete your accounts on multiple services with a single click sounds like a data privacy dream.
Someone correct me but how is this not a breach of the 5th amendment? The government cant just force a company to relinquish intellectual property regardless of how they got it
Edit: wow you guys are toxic. Cant even ask a question here without getting dogpilled
I don’t think intimate details about a person is a companies intellectual property.
🤡
Which is why no one mentioned or implied anything even remotely related to intellectual property. Not sure why it’s being brought up, but now we can get back on topic: people’s data being stolen, and then taking one small step towards rectifying that.
Is your medical and financial information your property or an insurance company’s property? Is this information given to governments, by threat of law? (Yes, if that state demands it, and depending on their constitution) Does a hacker have the right to sell whatever information that they acquire from any institution, or from you? The lack of a right of privacy in the US Constitution and ancient fossils in SCOTUS and legislatures will bring us rapidly forward to 1900 any day now, to their grappling with technology.
Intellectual property rights are granted by the state, and can be revoked as per law.
User data is not IP.
The legal owner of data about an user is (usually) the user.
Yeah r/privacy was toxic towards n00bs back on reddit as well. Sorry you got blasted for asking a question.
Thanks L33t Hax0r named 4chan.
