California’s GDPR-Lite Bill is Signed Into law https://the-digital-reader.com/2018/06/29/californias-gdpr-lite-bill-is-signed-into-law/ #policy #law #regulation
@bthall The difficulty here is that no one really knows which businesses are even keeping track of our information in order to contact and tell them to stop.
@bthall @lordbowlich ah america, the land where trolls rule the world
@saxnot @bthall @lordbowlich is that supposed to be funny?
@lordbowlich Whoops, I was forgetting bizs can make a general policy statement, not need to reply to each inquiry.
@lordbowlich blah I'm messing up all over the case. They do need to respond to each inquiry or request. 😑
@lordbowlich Yeah, but from a biz perspective I'm worried about privacy trolls emerging as a business-bankrupting force.
I think this will lead to more in-house, dumb IT work so biz people can confidently say that they collect nothing. Large bizs would have yet more of an advantage here over little bizs, due to having more resources for documenting info collection and use.
