Hard to believe I just heard @jimsteyer claim on @Forum that @CommonSense authored #CCPA and that @ACLU and @EFF have "no expertise on privacy" and have "never passed privacy laws". A thread on why that is outrageous bupkus from #yeson24.
The original data privacy bill that became #CCPA was #AB375 which was introduced BY @ACLU and @EFF via Ed Chau in 2017. The bill stalled in 2017 on the Senate floor, one vote away from the governor. It was much stronger at that time.
Alastair MacTaggart, a wealthy SF landlord who owns @EmeraldFund decided to try a ballot initiative. Because he was not particularly knowledgeable about #privacy, the initiative he self-funded was far less stringent than #AB375
