The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data brokers don’t comply with these rules, the bill stipulates they be fined or otherwise penalized.

Hopefully this becomes the standard nation wide. Having a single page where you can delete your accounts on multiple services with a single click sounds like a data privacy dream.

Is your medical and financial information your property or an insurance company's property? Is this information given to governments, by threat of law? (Yes, if that state demands it, and depending on their constitution) Does a hacker have the right to sell whatever information that they acquire from any institution, or from you? The lack of a right of privacy in the US Constitution and ancient fossils in SCOTUS and legislatures will bring us rapidly forward to 1900 any day now, to their grappling with technology.
