Websites break California privacy law at ‘industrial scale,’ survey finds

A new audit has found that websites across the internet may be failing to abide by California privacy law, ignoring a requirement to not track visitors who set a privacy control. 

The report, from researchers at webXray, a firm headed by a former Google privacy engineer, said the findings suggest major companies may be simply ignoring the law, and could point to “industrial-scale noncompliance with California requirements.”
