Incredibly excited that Governor Newsom signed AB566 -- the California Opt Me Out Act - that would enable consumers to exercise do not sell/share privacy requests at scale. @calprivacy.bsky.social sponsored this bill and is a great complement to the California Delete Act.

California Attorney General Bonta has issued a support letter for Assembly Bill 566 (#AB566), an important piece of proposed legislation that makes it easier for consumers to exercise their California privacy right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information via opt-out pref signals.

Given that the most widely used browser today does not have Global Privacy Control options (Chrome, 65% prevalence), this requirement that browsers begin to include that feature in 2027 is a big deal.

Yesterday, small business owners Todd Bailey (GreyDot Media) & Jerick Sobie (Lucky Feet Shoes) met with California legislators to speak out against #AB566 and #AB1018. If passed, these bills would restrict digital tools that help local businesses advertise, reach customers, and operate efficiently.

While the goal is greater privacy, the bill overlooks how it would cut off access to data that small businesses leverage to reach customers and grow.
Our latest blog post breaks down how #AB566 and universal opt-outs could disrupt digital ads that help small businesses stay competitive.
