Facebook stops fighting proposed California privacy law
Facebook has announced that it will stop opposing a proposed California ballot measure designed to protect the privacy of the state's citizens. The California Consumer Privacy Act would, if enacted, force companies to be more open about the types of data they store about folks. Naturally, the usual cadre of businesses threw money to fight the project, including Google, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and Facebook. But now the social network, which already donated $200,000 to defeat the proposition, has said it will bow out of the fight.
