It&#x27;s true that this law impacts the smaller players much more than the larger ones. That was pretty much inevitable.<p>But I&#x27;m fine with that, for two reasons. First, the smaller players aren&#x27;t good guys -- they&#x27;re engaging in this bad behavior as well, so it&#x27;s fine for them to get dinged even if the big guys get a smaller ding. Second, the law is a first step that will hopefully lead to future, better, more restrictive laws that will have a greater impact on the big players.<p>We have to start somewhere, and the CCPA is just that -- a start.
