Andrew Yang joins Advisory Board of Campaign for Prop 24 in CA

 Prop. 24 would rewrite parts of the California Consumer Privacy Act, which gave Californians new rights over their personal data when it took effect in January. The new measure would create a regulatory agency to manage California’s privacy regime, add protections for “sensitive data,” and eliminate the 30-day window that companies now have to correct problems before the attorney general can take them to court. It also would make it harder for the Legislature to roll back its protections in the future; any changes would need to further the law's aims.


One complicated aspect is who supports or opposes it.  Common Sense Media and Consumer Watchdog support the initiative, while the ACLU of California opposes it. Business groups against Prop 24 have used ACLU's opposition to frame their opposition as protection of consumer rights, though this is likely not the case.
