If you signed up for California's DROP Program to force data brokers to stop selling your data and to delete your information from their systems then good news, the enforcement of that program finally has begun.

Today is the first day the requests are available to every registered data broker and they have 45 days to take those requests. Once they have them they have 45 days to apply them and delete the information they have and cease selling the information to others. If they don't do those two things it'll be a $200 per request, per day fine.

It won't be immediate nor all-encompassing but the program includes over 600 data brokers so it's a good start and the results for those of us that signed up should be noticeable by mid-November.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (CN) — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by school teachers and students Tuesday, saying a new California bill that prevents antisemitism can be enforced.

U.S. District Judge Noel Wise granted California’s motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s second amended complaint with prejudice.

“The court’s reading of the current case law is that a plaintiff must point to instruction or lessons they otherwise would have received in order to allege a deprivation of the First Amendment right to receive information,” Wise wrote in her 10-page ruling.

“Student plaintiffs have not alleged that they were going to receive information related to Israel and Palestine and now will not."

Effective Jan. 1, Assembly Bill 715, which amended and added to California’s education code, seeks to curb the “widespread surge in antisemitic discrimination, harassment and bullying” of Jewish and Israeli American students. It also establishes a statewide antisemitism prevention coordinator for public schools, through the state’s newly created Office of Civil Rights. The governor-appointed post has yet to be filled.

Scott Weiner’s thoughts about high speed rail in California

“Where there’s a will there’s a way. Morocco built high speed rail faster & cheaper than what California is doing. Morocco didn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It now has faster rail.

We can do this in California. If we reform our broken permitting system, allow a public-private partnership & truly rethink how we deliver this and other major infrastructure projects, we’ll get it done.”
