Great to catch up with @tomkemp00.bsky.social on the @seriousprivacy.eu podcast this week. What is happening in California - the leader for U.S. state level data protection?

In the podcast, we talk about the DROP deletion mechanism and Tom patiently engages in a broader discussion of the policy goals. In the article, I share some reccomendations for the ad industry as as well as CalPrivacy. www.monopolyreportpod.com/episode-64-t...

What are the goals of CalPrivacy - California's privacy regulator? What are they looking to accomplish in 2026? @tomkemp00.bsky.social of CalPrivacy was kind enough to join me on @monopolyreport.bsky.social podcast this week - and I wrote a side-car article at monopoly-report.com/p/ccpa-vs-bi...

🪪 ⇄📁 California’s first-in-the-nation privacy tool just hit 155,000+ sign-ups. As of January 1, Californians can sign up to have data brokers stop selling their personal information at privacy.ca.gov/drop California is once again leading the nation on privacy and consumer protection.

Grateful to Governor Gavin Newsom for highlighting DROP, the first-in-the-nation privacy tool that allows Californians to block the sale of their personal information by data brokers. To date, more than 155,000 Californians have signed up. Read the release: www.gov.ca.gov/2026/01/20/g...

Very pleased that DROP has been officially announced! www.gov.ca.gov/2026/01/20/g...

Every state needs a site like this. CA is doing this right. CA residents won't have to try to find every data broker and submit a separate opt-out form on all of them. Why isn't this a Federal law? (Because our Congress members are purchased by lobbyists & don't work for us.) privacy.ca.gov/drop/

Denethor gave in to despair after doomscrolling on the palantir for years. Don't be like Denethor.

Hey y'all, if you're a California resident, the state's new privacy program to opt out and delete your information from data brokers is now available. Couple of steps to get a request completed but it's fairly simple. privacy.ca.gov/DROP/

I did it already and it was super easy. Thank you!!!

ICYMI: Signed by @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom, California just gave its 40 million residents a permanent delete button for a largely covert part of the personal data economy. privacy.ca.gov/drop

@calprivacy.bsky.social 's DROP gets shoutout from the San Jose Public Library! www.sjpl.org/blogs/post/s...

Update: I tried again and got all the way through the #California #drop process (which will take effect in August afaik)

Data brokers are the invisible engines of the data surveillance economy. It's hard to escape. Until. California just opened a website to delete (and keep deleting) your information from 500+ data brokers in one fell swoop. Try it if you're in California and LMK how it goes! privacy.ca.gov/drop/

Happy New Year and Happy #DROP Day California! @calprivacy.bsky.social privacy.ca.gov
