HOT OFF THE PRESSES–AGAIN! – CalPrivacy Announces Second Data Broker Enforcement Action in Less Than a Week
California's privacy regulator has announced a second enforcement action against a data broker within a single week, signaling an acceleration of regulatory pressure on the industry under state law.
Why this matters: Data brokers collect and sell personal information about people who never chose to deal with them. California gave its privacy agency real enforcement teeth, and two actions in one week suggests the agency is starting to use them. If you are on a data broker's list — and you almost certainly are — this kind of enforcement is the only realistic check on that industry. Watch whether these actions carry meaningful penalties or stay symbolic.
