We continue to enforce this landmark law. We’re also serving notices of CCPA violation to a number of other large online retailers in CA.
These companies have 30 days to begin processing global opt-outs using tools like @globalprivctrl or face potential legal liability.

Global privacy control is an important tool for consumers to protect their privacy. It is important for WA to follow California's lead on requiring companies to honor this. #consumerdataprivacy
“For years, companies have found ways to circumvent technical privacy protections. It’s basically an arms race. Technical tools are not enough. You need to have the force of law behind it.” wired.trib.al/6TXCXRb

What about helping consumers invoke their privacy rights via "Global Privacy Controls" as required under CCPA? @globalprivctrl
Hard to lead when you're sitting on the sidelines.

Smart take from @GregBensinger @nytimes:
"Apple could take a big lead over its rivals by supporting a single setting at the browser level, known as the Global Privacy Control, to prohibit companies from selling your data to others" (But currently don't)

For years, companies have found ways to circumvent technical privacy protections yet “@Apple, despite its stated (and heavily advertised) commitment to privacy, has not incorporated @globalprivctrl into Safari"

Amazing
Super salient example of the difference between using the web using a browser like that supports @globalprivctrl #GPC like @brave vs @Apple Safari or @Mozilla @firefox
Only one (@Brave) *automatically* opts you out of unwanted tracking #privacybydefault (ht @incloud)

Yesterday at a private IAB industry event, Senator @RonWyden sent a chilling message about tracking of users to the entire adtech industry especially the two largest trackers, Facebook and Google, “that’s got to go!” in a full-throated endorsement of @globalprivctrl.
Global Privacy Control retweeted
During his keynote at #IABALM, Sen @RonWyden chastises #adtech industry for only offering consumers choice when “its annoying to opt-out”.
He urged @IAB to adopt a universal opt-out and names @globalprivctrl specifically as a solution.
I’m looking forward to @IAB’s response.

And Sen. Ron Wyden joins Sen. Mark Warner in supporting Global Privacy Control. @ashk4n #IABALM globalprivacycontrol.org/

Important signal from Sen @MarkWarner to state legislatures deliberating privacy laws:
Virginia’s #VCDPA doesn’t go far enough. It needs additional safeguards against #darkpatterns + easy ways to invoke rights such as through a “Global Privacy Control”

As of today, over 40M users are using #GPC + major publishers such as @nytimes now honor #GPC as a valid opt-out under #CCPA with many more committed to launch soon

Unlike Do Not Track, the creators say Global Privacy Control has backing in California and European law. f-st.co/Bu21cow

Privacy advocates are launching a browser extenstion that could function as a do-not-sell tool for California residents, allowing them to opt out of the sale of their data on a global basis bit.ly/3d6EPaJ @wendyndavis

@abine is a proud founding member of a new effort to create a simple browser-oriented setting to easily express your preference for privacy, called Global Privacy Control (GPC)! #GlobalPrivacyControl
