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)

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.
