Hello SudoRoom!
I used to be a member when I lived in Oakland, but I ended up moving out to
the Sacramento area many years ago.
I have a discussion idea that I wanted to run by you fine folks...
We (as Californians) currently have the California Consumer Privacy Act in
place, which definitely helps support some consumer protections, but I
don't think it requires data to be stored and processed locally within the
state.
Do you think Californians would benefit from additional data-locality
requirements?
If so, do you think it would be worth attempting to push for GDPR style
protections or a similar objective as a CA ballot initiative?
My thoughts were that such an initiative could potentially add protections
for consumers while encouraging certain categories of tech work to be
conducted locally within the state.
Now, I'm not sure if I actually have the time or energy to follow up on
this idea, but I thought this group might be able to help me figure out if
it was worth pursuing.
I miss seeing you folks very much, and I hope you're doing well out there!
