Some clarity is emerging around the scope of California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) enforcement, which has been in force since early 2020. It wasn’t immediately clear if the new law would deal only with data breaches or would also cover privacy violations that are “powered” by cookies, and analytics and other trackers.
The answer seems to be that both types of privacy undermining practices used by social networks, tech firms, advertisers and data brokers are not allowed, at least according to enforcement letters signed by California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta, writes the Digiday trade magazine.
Specifically, if a social network collects and shares personal data obtained from online tracking of users via third parties, it will be considered as non-compliant unless users are notified or given the opportunity to opt-out.
In the letters, Bonta explains that tracking done by companies for advertising and analytics falls under the category of data sale that the privacy act prohibits. Put together with examples of CCPA cases published earlier this month by the Attorney General’s Office, legal experts see this as proof that the uncertainty over what type of activity the rules outlaw is starting to diminish.
One of the generic letters provided by the AG said that an unnamed company, after being told that third party trackers, the way they were deployed, were a violation of CCPA, ended up removing them from the app and the site.
However, the complexity of the tracking tech’s many tentacles means that CCPA’s enforcement will not be a straight-forward affair, as multiple factors may be considered, including why and how tracking is used, whether it follows people across the web and offline, and so on.
Regarding the way California is enforcing its privacy rules, companies suspected of non-compliance are given a month to remedy the situation, or face stiff penalties.

A privacy lawyer speaking on condition of anonymity said that companies could be considered in breach of the law every time a Californian interacts with a site jeopardizing their privacy by using cookies. That means a potentially huge number of violations – while fines for each range from $2,500 for unintentional, and […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
