Short History of California Invasion of Privacy Act
California is known for leading the way in creating laws. In 2014, the state wrote the California Invasion of Privacy Act to protect against landline eavesdropping and wiretapping. Since then, the law has expanded to protect personal data transferred electronically.
In 2020, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act. These laws gave all California citizens the right to privacy and set rules for businesses collecting and selling personal information. Other states like Washington, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Massachusetts have also passed similar laws to protect private information.
