Where is a good overview of these laws?

I searched for "CCPA FAQ", and here are two I read that were useful:

How are these different from GDPR? Most global companies should already have most of this in place, so it will just hurt the small businesses which has yet to expand outside the states. Is there some limit to company size here to avoid that?

You mean like all of the US news sites that just firewall off EU citizens at the moment?

50,000 is not a lot. If you set up a YouTube competitor and the view counter on a video has more than 50,000 views, do you qualify? What if you use cookies? It’s a personal ID of all 50,000 viewers.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

50,000 is not a lot. If you set up a YouTube competitor and the view counter on a video has more than 50,000 views, do you qualify? What if you use cookies? It’s a personal ID of all 50,000 viewers.

Awesome, fewer people using cookies to track me.
