The California Privacy Protection Agency would create a way by 2026 for consumers to make a single request to ask data brokers to delete their personal information.
California lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill known as the Delete Act that would allow consumers, with a single request, to have every data broker delete their personal information.
Privacy advocates say it should be easier for people to delete personal information held by data brokers. Businesses say doing so will "destroy California's data-driven economy."
