#3So the author would rather see each state/country implement it’s own laws so that a small startup needs to ensure they comply with hundreds of regulatory jurisdictions... awesome.

#4Does anyone know the real implications of the CCPA for things like Sift Science, Google's Recaptcha, and maybe even Cloudflare?
All of these are based on many companies contributing information about users to create profiles which curb abuse. And Sift/Google/etc. get commercial benefit from this data sharing, which might trigger the CCPA. But you can't give bad actors the ability to opt out of this kind of data sharing without crippling them.
I think these kind of companies are really important to a functioning internet. I hope there are carve outs of some sort, but seems like they're living on the edge right now.

I'm just going to ignore them all until my actual operating jurisdiction implements one, I'm not beholden to the laws of another country, let alone a specific state in it.

#6If the Environmental Protection Agency can hold a straight face while revoking California's ability to protect its own environment with higher standards, I'll hold off on getting excited about privacy laws until we see the FTC/FCC/etc.'s response.

#7A significant part of the fear comes from how poorly worded it is.

#8So many NYC-based journalists who love to spit all over "Silicon Valley".
Is there room for a TechCrunch-like publication with a more Silicon Valley-influenced editorial bent? (There's already a massive surplus of sneering Brooklyn-based scolds in "tech media".)

or, you could not start a business that requires you capture every single facet of a person's life as a data point.

The gist of these laws are all the same. Just respect ALL users' data from the start, and you shouldn't have any difficulty with compliance.
