A big win for privacy in California- USA- especially for kids!!

What does this mean? Common sense media explains… “It will go into effect in 2020, and once it does you will be able to access the personal information companies collect about you – and opt out of the sale of that data. Kids under 16 must opt in before their data is ever sold.”
