A new state law requires web browsers to add an opt-out signal that tells sites not to sell or share user data. Backers say it automates privacy choices and could become the new standard. Some tech firms quietly opposed the bill.

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Google's old motto: don't be evil. Google's new motto: we are evil.
The real issue is data brokerage in general. Also, the use of tracking pixels and web beacons should be better controlled. Cookies ( especially third party cookies) are still a problem, but these wolves that call themselves marketers have work arounds.
This subject needs massive attention and a huge overhaul is needed in the data collection and brokerage industry. These same tools used for marketing will evolve into extremely scary frameworks capable of way more than monitoring for marketing reasons if these issues are not dealt with swiftly and effectively.
Begining…2027 lol
Nothing has ever stopped the bs! Nothing is going to stop the BS. The telemarketers never stop calling no matter how many laws have been passed! All a big waste of hot air
Lol. 2027? What's the use?
When did a big company respect their customers wishes.
We click on the button and HOPE that they respect our wish?
So in other words it is just there to make us feel better?
Nice short report, which is why I use Brave browser on every device I use. Google/YouTube doesn't pay my internet bill, until then none of them should be able to do so. Reason why nobody should pay for content either, including 'regular ' cable 'TV '.
why do we need bigger data centers again?
pointless really. look at how facebook did it for so long. they just update the software which resets all the options and before your in there to fix it your data has been exported.
they need to make it law that no data is sent without explicit consent and that it is not dictated by the software environment but set as a security standard.
It's not just about regulation, there has to be consequence. Fines, Imprisonment should be high enough that these companies should think twice. USA does not have strong identity protection laws nor does it have punishment for violators.
California should't be allowed to make laws that are obviously the jurisdiction of the federal government. 😡
I'm pissed off that You Tube allows so many undisclosed AI created content and even more the theft and voice of non affiliated respected FAUX hosts . Gutter companies preying on people FU TECH
Googoo has exploited the trust of the public with their monopolistic search engine cash machine.
The internet is illegal.
It's all illegal police said get on the internet at your own safety with the tech quacks.
Absolute Cinema
How about facebook messenger. People lost messeges because of this e2ee. Sue facebook and make them loose billions
How about utility companies selling your water/power usage? They collect data to the second.
It's about time. We'll, not really, if Californians have to wait a whole year. And the year in between all that data is still being shared 👎.
It should’ve be implemented by 2026. 👏👏👏
