This is all about the data collected. Despite the article glazing over this like trusting them to do the right thing and your data is safe and not used. There's no other reason for this outside that. It will make a lot of people rich and everyone will have more information and thats the only reason for this. Im still trying to figure out how this protects anyone anymore than before.
Thankfully i still live in a state thats good and as far as i know it's not even talked about. If it does happen it will probably force me to finally use a VPN and use a fake picture and info if i even choose to use whatever it is that requests this crap.
The pipeline of regulation usually goes California Law -> New York Law -> Federal Law because once companies have to do something for two of the biggest states, they start lobbying the Feds so they can standardize. California already passed their law, and NY's is in committee right now.
