California's S.B. 690, nicknamed the Corporate Cover-Up Act, poses a significant threat to digital privacy by undermining the state's Invasion of Privacy Act. This legislation would allow corporations to conduct extensive surveillance of individuals' online behavior without consent, under the guise of 'commercial business purpose.' Key provisions include legalizing corporate wiretaps and giving companies the authority to use surveillance data freely. Proponents argue it merely aligns existing privacy laws, but critics emphasize it effectively dismantles protections against secret monitoring that Californians depend on.
The Corporate Cover-Up Act is a blatant attack on digital privacy, eviscerating protections Californians rely on and allowing companies to surveil without consent.
Proponents misleadingly claim that the act is a simple clarification, but in reality, it combines long-standing privacy protections with loopholes for corporate surveillance.
