“Under law, [GPC] must be honored by covered businesses as a valid consumer request to stop the sale of personal information.”

ICYMI: CA @AGBecerra clarified that #GPC satisfies the legal-requirement for a ‘user-enabled global privacy control’ under #CCPA… meaning that businesses are required to honor it as a valid opt-out!
This is a huge win! CA citizens can opt-out across the web with just "1 click”!
#CCPA requires businesses to treat a user-enabled global privacy control as a legally valid consumer request to opt out of the sale of their data.
CCPA opened the door to developing a technical standard, like the GPC, which satisfies this legal requirement & protects privacy.
