California Lawmakers Advance Last-Minute Data Privacy Bill (go.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: California state senators advanced a last-minute internet privacy bill Tuesday ahead of a deadline while acknowledging it would need changes if it becomes law. The bill would let consumers ask companies what personal data they collect and opt out of having their data sold, among other privacy provisions. Lawmakers voted to pass the measure, AB375, out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The bill is aimed at keeping a related initiative off the November ballot. Lawmakers negotiated it with San Francisco housing developer Alastair Mactaggart, who spent millions of dollars to place the initiative on the ballot. He said he would pull the measure from the ballot if the bill is signed into law by the Thursday deadline to withdraw initiatives. The bill now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee, a spokeswoman for co-author Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, said. The full Assembly and Senate each plan to vote on the bill Thursday. Gov. Jerry Brown's office has not said whether he will sign it.

Trump will be escorted directly from the White House, to Joint Base Andrews and from there to Sherman Army Airfield near Leavenworth, KS. From there he will be transferred under heavy FBI armed guard to Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary where he will be housed permanently in isolation for collusion with a foreign government and violation of the emoluments clause. Depending on what Mueller turns up, it could even be Treason and Pence may be along for the ride.
Amendments suggested by Mactaggart were scrapped ahead of the committee hearing after a coalition funded by technology giants decried them, demonstrating their influence in the Capitol.
LOL. Gee, I wonder what technology giants in California make up that coalition? If the ballot initiative stays, suddenly I think supporting Republicans won't quite be so odious to Silicon Valley companies' leadership.

This badly needs to happen. ...I cant imagine companies like Facebook actually playing along with it for a single moment though, even if they claim they are.
Otherwise who knows what kind of skullduggery the Sacto slimeballs will bury into their version.
He will then make Obama his bitch since of course that cuck is guilty as sin. Barry is everyoneâ(TM)s idea of a prison whore.

Is this the version that had its teeth removed by adding some huge loopholes?
Corruption is convincing someone that the selfless ideal is the same as their selfish ideal.
