    A lot of those requests are met with, "give us all your data in full so we ensure we have everyrhing there is and we will process it to not be sold" So no, the grass isn't all that greener on the other side.

    Nice! TIL. Do you have any info you could share about how Minnesota's privacy legislation compares to California's or the EU?

    My understanding is that they used the existing laws as a framework and then went a little above and beyond them. There is an org in the US that's is trying to get these sorts of laws passed in every state and they want to make sure they are all compatible with each other.

    I think one of the big differences is that MN residents can request what data a business has and the have corrections made.

    What, you mean all of them?

    Been noticing that cookie opt-outs have lately gotten lazy, with just an 'Accept' button. We're in CPRA zone, but they've got their hands full. Insta-ban for these sites. Good luck getting AI-scraped to oblivion.

    Uncompany them.
    Ensure they can never exist again.

    Just during the redaction of the paper the situation improved! Way to go!

    Great piece!

    Linked in requires you to provide your email then you get to go through some hoops to opt out. All the while it tries to act like it is the beacon of privacy. I will no longer read articles from them. Not that I ever really did much.

    Great reporting. Naming and shaming can work.
