California’s DELETE Act—signed into law Tuesday by @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom—will improve everyone’s privacy rights, make CA’s consumer privacy laws more user-friendly, & buttress a registration requirement for data brokers, EFF’s @HTsuka told the @Guardian.https://t.co/dStThZGXVC

[EFF @EFF]

Victory! California’s new data broker law will hold data brokers accountable and give us needed control over our data by making it easier to exercise our privacy rights. @PrivacyToday @caprivacyorg

FTC says TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate deceived users about background report accuracy, violated FCRA while marketing reports for employee and tenant screening: https://t.co/EcTku4KNLe /1

Proud that my Delete Act passed out of the State Assembly today! Close one but we got it out!!

[Consumer Reports Advocacy @CRAdvocacy]

“California has been a leader in extending new digital rights to consumers. This latest effort is another step in helping individuals take back control of their data and personal information," said Matt Schwartz, policy analyst at CR. https://t.co/l9mzyl9xHV

[EFF @EFF]

“Normal people have essentially zero visibility into the ways their information is traded and sold, making it even more difficult to know who has your information,” EFF’s @HTsuka told @securityblvd in support of California’s DELETE Act. https://t.co/Ry7zJLAn9k

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

#ca continues to lead on protecting consumer privacy. #TheDeleteAct #SB362 "would create a 'one-stop shop' for asserting rights over hundreds of entities that collect, aggregate and resell consumer personal information."

.@LATimes article on #SB362 -- would give @Calprivacy the ability to create a consumer-facing portal that would enable deletion from #databrokers and do not track. Bill authored by @JoshBeckerSV https://t.co/NeuPtPmtEl

[EFF @EFF]

Requiring consumers to know enough about data brokers and how to have their data deleted is a “high burden,” EFF’s @HTsuka told @Digiday. California’s Delete Act is a “fairly modest proposal” that provides a practical fix to a “really thorny problem.”

We could not be more proud and thrilled to report that the Delete Act, #SB362, has advanced out of the Senate and is heading to the Assembly! We're all one step closer to one-click deletion from data brokers and reclaiming control over our personal information.

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

#SB362 passed the Senate Floor! The Delete Act will empower consumers to finally take control over who can access  reproductive health, geolocation, and purchasing data. Now on to the Assembly!

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

1. @FTC & @JusticeDept took action against @Amazon for deceiving people about how it'd store the voice & geolocation data it collected through Alexa. This included telling parents that they could delete kids' voice data, but then keeping it for years.

A single social media account can reveal a map of our family, friends, political views, and personal preferences.

This level of surveillance and scrutiny is a huge violation of our right to speak and associate freely online.
