So every 45 days, the CPPA will tell these companies to delete your data. I wonder how many people realize that that means the CPPA or these companies have to keep a record of some of your PII, so that they can look you up and delete you from the database. Maybe privacy conscious people are fine with the California government keeping their PII?

Oh but the government won't become a new data broker and sell our data to 3rd parties, right?

This seems fine? PII isn't in and of itself sensitive, it's using PII to link individuals to purchases, actions, other data that's problematic.

Facebook knowing my name isn't that bad, facebook knowing that some individual bought "Hunky Firefighters Pt 7" isn't that bad. Facebook knowing that I'm the individual that bought "Hunky Firefighters Pt 7" is exactly what I would want to prevent.

It needs to be changed from opt out to opt in. Explicit consent to sale with opt out assumed by default.

It's... the government. They issued half of that information.

Not sure you know what CPPA stands for. Your objection makes little sense.

[phendrenad2]

It stands for the California Privacy and Protection Agency, right?
