This is REALLY important and we hope @CAGovernor Newsom continues his leadership on #Privacy issues by supporting #TheDeleteAct! Let's continue to ensure California leads the way on #PrivacyMatters! Thank you @SenJoshBecker for getting this to the Gov's desk!
I was interviewed by @ktvu on #SB362 #TheDeleteAct. This bill, which is on @CAgovernor Newsom's desk, creates a free, one-stop-shop website for you to click DELETE and remove your data from being sold by unknown, 3rd-party entities. #caleg Watch here: youtu.be/PSwoVy-tiC8

Calif should use the strongest #privacy agency in the nation (@CalPrivacy) to regulate Artificial Intelligence (#AI). With unregulated chatbots, transparency in AI is more important than ever. Let's be smarter than the bots about enforcing privacy law! Exactly why we passed #CPRA

California is at the forefront of privacy in response to quickly changing technology.
We urge Congress not to undercut the important protections that have been established through efforts by the states.
Any federal law should set the floor, not the ceiling for privacy law.
ALT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PRIVACY PROTECTION AGENCY Dear Congressional Leaders: As you continue considering federal privacy legislation, California remains steadfast in our position that federal privacy law must not preempt state law privacy protections. California leads the nation in protecting consumer privacy – and in cultivating an innovation economy while doing so. The path forward to a robust data privacy law is one that sets a federal floor, not a ceiling, to allow states to continue to innovate and be nimble in protecting their residents. The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) seeks to extend to every American the privacy rights that they deserve. However, by prohibiting states from adopting, maintaining, enforcing, or continuing in effect any law covered by the legislation, it would eliminate exist

We agree with @SenHannahBeth: federal pre-emption of #CPRA and #CCPA would weaken abortion rights. We can't let #ADPPA or any other federal legislation take away important #privacy rights!

Important editorial from the @latimes on why #ADPPA is "seriously flawed" saying:"It threatens to diminish the privacy protections Californians have come to expect from a state law signed in 2018 and a ballot measure voters approved in 2020."latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Californians for Consumer Privacy and @PrivacyToday OPPOSE #ADPPA Trojan Horse, joining @SpeakerPelosi, Governor @GavinNewsom and @CalPrivacy in saying a federal privacy law should not pre-empt existing stronger CA privacy laws. See comparison chart: caprivacy.org/letter-to-spea…

Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for working to protect #CPRA, the strongest privacy law in the nation. Federal pre-emption by #ADPPA would set back #privacy rights and undermine the will of more than 9.3 million California voters to enshrine those rights. speaker.gov/newsroom/9122

We agree w/ @SpeakerPelosi:"Proudly, California leads the nation not only in innovation, but also in consumer protection... it is imperative that Ca continues offering and enforcing the nation’s strongest privacy rights." Don't let #ADPPA pre-empt #CPRA! speaker.gov/newsroom/9122
