Californians are getting the power to protect themselves. What is your state or country doing?
Starting in 2020, Californians will have the power to control whether or not online companies can keep or sell our data. Currently, online companies collect all sorts of information about us and use it either to bombard us with advertising or profit from it by selling it to others who attack us with ads…and worse.
Although the new law isn’t as strong as the one in Europe, it’s the strongest in the U.S.
Start bombarding your lawmakers with demands that they enact similar legislation. We all deserve to avoid giving up part of our private lives every time we search or buy on the internet, go to a website, or download a movie or e-book.
Remember: Their taking our data isn’t just a bother to us; their having our information can also endanger us, especially the most vulnerable among our family and friends.
