California has apparently passed an initiative privacy
bill, to go into effect 1/1/2020, which Mike Masnick on Techdirt calls “a disaster in the making”.
The article even suggests that most business websites
would have to develop a separate version for California, but won’t other states
join in?
I don’t know if this could affect Adsense, or Amazon
associate ads, for example. These
companies could probably put their privacy controls inside their images as
methods dependent on the location of the IP address receiving the content. I
haven’t seen them make any changes for the EU GDPR, which has been overtaken by
the controversies over the Copyright Directive (put off until September for
now).
Also, here’s an article on how to deal with “information
clutter” in your own Internet experience.
