Yeah it could be broader for sure, would prefer it to be an allowlist rather than a blocklist, but the presence of a workaround doesn't make banning something pointless, and as the SC pointed out in their decision, a law does not need to solve all problems in one fell swoop in order for it to be valid.

I just wish we could ban user-tracking (and data brokers) entirely so we wouldn't have this problem to begin with, or at least not to the current extent.

Keeping the data securely inside our country is never going to work if China can simply open their wallet and spend billions of $ to obtain the data.

  • Totally agree, and have written my congresspeople several times asking them to push for such legislation
