- Websites break California privacy law at ‘industrial scale,’ survey finds
A survey by webXray found that major tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are violating California privacy law by ignoring the Global Privacy Control signal, which prohibits tracking users who opt out. The report suggests widespread noncompliance, with Google tracking users in 86% of cases and Meta failing to check the signal 69% of the time, potentially leading to billions in fines.
