Does 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.
