California becomes first US state to establish a sole-purpose data-protection agency
It has happened: The California Privacy Protection Agency has become the first standalone privacy enforcer to be established in the United States. California Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s appointment of five people to the board of the new agency has focused public attention on the CPPA\u2019s role; it has also raised the prospect of other states following California\u2019s lead and establishing their own privacy frameworks.
