TechSpot, a trusted source for tech analysis and advice, is marking its 25th anniversary. In recent news, a bill known as the “Delete Act” has been approved in California, aiming to make it easier for consumers to have their data removed from online databases. Supporters argue that deletion rights are essential, but critics, including lawyers and advertisers, see the bill as an unnecessary burden. If Governor Gavin Newsom signs the bill by October 14, it will establish a new deletion mechanism that allows Californians to make a single request to all 500 data brokers in the state. This move has drawn both praise and opposition, with advocates highlighting the importance of privacy and opponents expressing concerns about the impact on the digital economy.
