How California Gave Consumers More Protection of Their Own Data

The video discusses the evolution of data privacy laws, focusing on the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). It highlights the impact of major data breaches and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which led to increased scrutiny on data privacy. The CCPA, effective from 2020, grants Californians rights over their data, including access, deletion, and opting out of data sales. It also holds companies accountable for privacy violations. While the CCPA is specific to California, its influence extends beyond the state, prompting other states and federal discussions on privacy laws. Businesses face significant costs to comply with these regulations.
