#ca continues to lead on protecting consumer privacy. #TheDeleteAct #SB362 "would create a 'one-stop shop' for asserting rights over hundreds of entities that collect, aggregate and resell consumer personal information."

A single social media account can reveal a map of our family, friends, political views, and personal preferences.
