Like many Canadians, I balked at the "AI for All" national strategy produced by the federal government a few weeks ago.
Someone I know personally has been writing for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and has had a few good articles about this:

- https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/whose-artificial-intelligence/And most recently, this podcast episode on #TechWontSaveUs:
I'd highly recommend them for accurate and meaningful criticism

🎉 Congratulations on the 1,000th data breach! 🥳 Instead of celebrating, Troy Hunt decides to sit and wonder why his own service still matters despite laws that are supposed to make it obsolete. 🤔 Maybe it's because most companies treat #GDPR and #CCPA like a suggestion rather than a rule! 🤷♂️

From my "Yippee!" Files
The IAPP writes:
Last year, the California Privacy Protection Agency adopted a major new rule requiring certain businesses to conduct an annual cybersecurity audit. The rule went into effect 1 Jan. 2026. This pioneering requirement, the first of its kind among state data privacy laws of general applicability, may entail substantial compliance efforts for affected companies to identify and correct cybersecurity shortcomings. While compliance concerns may generate new anxiety, the audit requirement's impact on data breach litigation could have equally significant long-term implications for businesses operating in California.

An independent webXray audit of more than 7,000 California websites found that Google, Meta, and Microsoft often continued tracking users even after opt-out signals were sent. The report says 55% of sites still set ad cookies after opt-out, with reported failure rates of 87% for Google, 69% for Meta, and 50% for Microsoft.

I just left Cindy Cohn's Presentation and book release party via remote stream.
Cindy is the Executive director of the EFF, and came to prominence regarding the Bernstein case against the prohibition of "strong encryption" a few years back during the Clinton administration.
Today, the industrial surveillance special interests are being aided again by socialist governments in the form of California_Digital_Age_Assurance_Act (AB 1043), and I was fortunate enough to have her directly address my question about just what we're going to do to defeat this and other criminal lawfare against our identity and privacy.
My question was the first question asked (and answered, sort of), and long before the Q&A that is supposed to wrap up the presentation, but I must say that I was a bit disappointed in that she really had nothing to offer other than to say we need to fight this.
Yes, of course we do. From my point of view, as part of my terms of service for a few years now, I've done what #Midnight_BSD has done by prohibiting Californians from using their OS by changes to the licensing - perhaps this is the way to go for all of us? Letting California (and Colorado) descend into the socialist abyss of third world dystopian decay; unable to compete and compute in a world that has left them behind and turned its back on them.
It's certainly worked out well for me. Due to the #GDPR and #CCPA I prohibit all residents of the #EU and #California, respectively, from using any online services that I provide or host - even though all of my services are actually GDPR and CCPA compliant.
I'll post a follow up here once I get the URL for the on-demand recording of Cindy (and Corey Doctorow), so that you can follow along and hear what they're prepared to do about AB 1043 (and similar legislation in Colorado)... unfortunately, she didn't actually impress me with any sort of game plan to protect the FOSS community from this latest implementation of dystopian socialist surveillance.

Okay, let's make an HTTP API that verifies users under the new #California #AB1043 law, so these fucktars know how useless their law is.
25 lines on your average Node.js.
Cross-platform.
#CCPA compliant.
#Private by design.
If you're a law maker, this costs $70,000 a month to run on AWS and it uses #AI.

California’s AG just secured a $2.75M CCPA settlement—the largest to date—sending a clear message that opt-outs must work across devices, brands, and services tied to a user’s account. We discuss the settlement and its broader implications for companies in our blog:

Why data governance is your next revenue engine and not just a compliance checkbox.
Data governance sometimes brings negative thoughts by being seen as a dry, bureaucratic necessity to keep regulators happy. But what if I told you that treating data governance as a strategic asset can directly drive revenue and business growth?
Let’s reframe the conversation.
Trusted data = Confident decisions
When data is accurate, consistent, and accessible, teams across your organization, from marketing to sales to product, can make faster, smarter decisions. Imagine your sales team acting on real-time customer insights or your product team launching features backed by clean, reliable usage data. That’s revenue acceleration in action.
Unlock hidden opportunities
Governed data isn’t just about avoiding errors; it’s about uncovering patterns and opportunities. With a solid governance framework, you can confidently analyze customer behavior, optimize pricing strategies, or identify untapped markets. It’s like turning on a spotlight in a dark room, suddenly, everything becomes actionable.
Fuel AI and innovation
AI and machine learning thrive on high-quality data. Without governance, AI models are built on shaky foundations, leading to biased outcomes or missed predictions. But with clean, well-managed data? You are poised to innovate faster, personalize experiences, and stay ahead of competitors. Think of data governance as the rocket fuel for your AI initiatives.
Build customer trust (and loyalty)
In times data privacy concerns, customers reward transparency. A robust governance framework ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR, PIPL or CCPA, but it also signals to customers that you value their data. That trust translates into loyalty, repeat business, and positive word-of-mouth: all revenue drivers.
Break down silos, boost collaboration
Governance creates a common language for data across departments. When everyone understands how data is defined, stored, and used, collaboration skyrockets. Marketing and sales align on customer journeys, finance and operations sync on performance metrics, resulting in cohesive strategies that maximize revenue potential.
Data governance is a revenue enabler
Data governance isn’t a cost center; it’s a revenue enabler.When you invest in governance, you are not just avoiding fines, you are building a foundation for growth, innovation, and customer-centric approach.

Starting in 2026, you can now request to have your personal data deleted from data broker databases if you are a #California resident thanks to the California Consumer Privacy Act (#CCPA)
DROP is available to consumers to submit deletion requests. Data brokers will start processing deletion requests August 1, 2026.
-
The California DROP Act launched Jan 1, 2026 — giving residents a centralized way to opt out of data sales and request deletion across registered data brokers.
Mandatory registration, structured timelines, and potential per-request fines make this more than symbolic.
Whether you’re a consumer or a business handling third-party data, this is real privacy enforcement happening now.

As of January 1, 2026, California’s DROP platform is live, allowing residents to submit a single opt-out and deletion request to registered data brokers (500+). While brokers aren’t required to process requests until August 1, 2026, this marks a major shift toward enforceable consumer data rights — and real friction for the data broker economy.

CCPA/CPRA isn’t just an opt-out link—it’s a full data governance regime.
You now need:
• documented retention limits
• updated vendor + contractor contracts
• risk assessments for high-risk processing
• clear rules for “selling” AND “sharing” data
Yet studies show only ~11% of companies were fully compliant, and 92% were still unprepared as of 2022.
Most organizations are still catching up.
