How Silicon Valley used Main Street’s outrage against California privacy law
California's Senate passed SB 690, a bill to curb lawsuits under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), backed by tech giants like Meta, Amazon, and Google. Critics argue it strips consumer rights to sue over tracking violations, benefiting Big Tech. The bill aims to address frivolous litigation but faces opposition from privacy advocates. CIPA lawsuits have targeted small businesses and tech companies, with penalties up to $5,000 per violation.
