> Californians will be able to delete all personal online data in first-in-US law

Considering the government has in no way regulated phone solicitors or spam, how could anyone assume this law would have any effect? I mean, lawbreakers ignore laws, and spammers hoard personal data.

edit: the Los Angeles Times article's first sentence is less hyperbolic, more sober...

> Californians will be able to make a single request asking that data brokers delete their personal information, under a bill Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Tuesday.
