The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information. If data brokers don’t comply with these rules, the bill stipulates they be fined or otherwise penalized.

Hopefully this becomes the standard nation wide. Having a single page where you can delete your accounts on multiple services with a single click sounds like a data privacy dream.

    the full sentence you’re quoting is

    The new bill reinforces that all data brokers must register with the California privacy protection agency, and it requires the CPPA to establish an easy and free way for Californians to request that all data brokers in the state delete their data through a single page, regardless of how they acquired that information.

    i’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me that it’s saying the new bill would require data brokers to register with the CPPA in order to operate in california (regardless of where the companies are based). then, this registration process would force them to comply with the “delete their data through a single page” process (or pay a fine).

    the rest of this article seems to support this interpretation.
