CA Governor Vetoes Bill Requiring Opt-out Signals for Sale of User #Data Gavin Newsom said he opposes mandate on mobile operating system #developers. “California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required makers of web browsers and mobile operating systems to let consumers send opt-out preference signals that could limit businesses' use of personal information. The bill approved by the State Legislature last month would have required an opt-out signal "that communicates the consumer's choice to opt out of the sale and sharing of the consumer's personal information or to limit the use of the consumer's sensitive personal information." It would have made it illegal for a business to offer a web browser or mobile operating system without a setting that lets consumers "send an opt-out preference signal to businesses with which the consumer interacts." Newsom said he is opposed to the new bill's mandate on operating systems. […] “To ensure the ongoing usability of mobile devices, it's best if design questions are first addressed by developers, rather than by regulators. For this reason, I cannot sign this bill." Vetoes can be overridden with a two-thirds vote in each chamber. The bill was approved 59–12 in the Assembly and 31–7 in the Senate. But the State Legislature hasn't overridden a veto in decades. Industry worked overtime to squash bill. The opt-out bill would have built on the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 and California Privacy Rights Act of 2020. Google, which recently nixed a plan to turn off tracking cookies by default in Chrome, urged Newsom to veto the bill, reports by Bloomberg and Politico said.” By Jon Brodkin https://lnkd.in/d35qZuMZ #privacy #security #regulations #innovation #growth #revenue #businessmodel #startups #bigtech #datascience #democracy #humanity
