It's been quiet lately. Hopefully, it is not a calm before a storm if you will. I crawled out from under my rock and found that the State of California law that offers new consumer protection went into effect Jan 1, 2020. So I poked around the Interwebs to learn about what to expect. For what it's worth, I am not a resident of California so I am not particularly entitled to these new protections today. I do think it is a sign of what is coming. Europe implemented the General Data Protection Regulation a couple of years ago. There are more states adopting more consumer protections each year. Let's hope they have enough teeth to have an impact. I took some time to read through the law [1] to highlight it for you. Please note, I am not an attorney or even have interest in being one. Let's take a look.
