I'm curious what HN folks' experiences with CCPA have been (from the consumer side)?<p>For instance, I filled out a form for CCPA data deletion, at a very large data broker, to receive a report on data they had collected and to request my data not be sold, and then had evidence that my data was both retained and continued to be sold several months later.<p>I wish surveillance was opt-in (yes, no one would and that is the point). It is quite a burden to try to "opt out" from data collection and sales with so many companies collecting, aggregating and selling this personal information.
The fact that the CCPA does not apply to government agencies is completely outrageous in my opinion. The CA DOJ leaked thousands of citizens private information recently and nothing is happening to them. They even went through the trouble of building a UI to search the data released, so its pretty hard to claim it wasn't intentional.<p>If we are going to hold companies to the CCPA should the agency in charge of enforcement not be held to the same standard?
The settlement was for $1.2M and some promises.<p>Sephora has more than 100 locations in California. I bet some of their more prominent locations charge close to that $1.2M in rent.<p>What a pittance of a settlement...
