Data monetization coming to California?

“In his first state of the state address on Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed “a new data dividend” that could allow residents to get paid for providing access to their data” – reports CNBC.

“California’s consumers should also be able to share in the wealth that is created from their data,” Newsom said. Tech companies that “make billions of dollars collecting, curating and monetizing our personal data have a duty to protect it.”
