Executive of Director of CalPrivacy aka California Privacy Protection Agency.
California Attorney General Bonta has issued a support letter for Assembly Bill 566 (#AB566), an important piece of proposed legislation that makes it easier for consumers to exercise their California privacy right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information via opt-out pref signals.

#CALeg #AB566 -- the California Opt Me Out Act -- passes the Assembly, having passed the State Senate yesterday, and is now on to the Governor's desk. Congrats to Asm. Lowenthal and the @calprivacy.bsky.social for important step in requiring browsers to support GPC/OOPS.

Great to see #CALeg #AB566 pass the Senate, now back to the Assembly. This is the California Opt Me Out Act, that requires browsers to support Global Privacy Control (GPC) aka Opt-Out Preferences Signals (OOPS)

FWIW, the data broker affiliated with Eskimi in this article - RedMob - appears to not be registered with California as a data broker (or Oregon, Texas, and Vermont for that matter).

In the Texas vs. Arity privacy lawsuit filed today, Texas AG attaches the privacy policy from Arity, and it is amazing for a data broker that has 45 million detailed driving records of Americans, that in 2023 only 6 Californians requested to see their data, and only 30 requested deletion.
