California: Stop the Corporate Cover Up Act (S.B. 690)

S.B. 690 is a corporate cover-up. Tell California lawmakers to reject it.

California’s S.B. 690 would gut long standing privacy protections and give corporations free rein to secretly surveil, record, and profit off Californians’ private moments. If passed, it would:

Legalize corporate interception of real-time communications, location data, and device activity without consent
Allow companies to use invasive tools like wiretaps, pen registers, and trap-and-trace devices for any “commercial business purpose”
Remove accountability by eliminating your right to sue under California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA)
Create new risks for immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, abortion seekers, and protesters

This isn’t about fixing a law. It’s about gutting it so companies can spy on you with no consequences. Simply put, this bill is:

A gift to Big Tech and corporate data brokers
A dangerous rollback of California’s privacy protections
A threat to civil rights, digital freedom, and public trust
A step backward at a time when surveillance is surging nationwide

Californians deserve real privacy, not legalized spying.

Tell lawmakers to stop the Corporate Cover-Up Act. Vote NO on S.B. 690.

Message:

As your constituent, I’m urging you to vote NO on S.B. 690—a dangerous rollback of California’s privacy protections that would legalize unchecked corporate surveillance. S.B. 690 would gut the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), giving companies broad immunity to intercept, record, and track users’ sensitive data without notice or consent. These aren’t hypotheticals. CIPA has helped uncover serious abuses by companies like Facebook, Google, and Oracle. Rolling back these protections doesn’t clarify anything—it opens the door to more exploitation and fewer rights. Additionally, S.B. 690 isn’t just harmful—it’s inconsistent with federal law and leaves Californians exposed to practices they can’t even opt out of. It also puts vulnerable communities—including immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, abortion seekers, and workers—directly in harm’s way. California should lead on privacy, not undermine it. I urge you to stand up for your constituents and reject this corporate power grab. Please vote NO on S.B. 690. Sincerely,
