Summary:The Cambridge Analytica scandal as well as closely connected disinformation campaigns, which analyze social media users' personal data to implement targeted propaganda, showcase the growing problem of data collection and its vulnerability to misuse. As a result, the laissez-faire perspective on regulating the internet and data collection has fallen to the wayside as efforts to protect consumer data through regulation gain international traction. Leading in the charge to protect consumers' personal information is the European Union with its passage of the General Data Protection Regulation, which went into full force May 2018. Following suit, and central to this Comment, is California's recent passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
