  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2026 – California has launched a privacy platform allowing residents to request that data brokers delete their personal information and stop selling it, under a law signed by Gov. **Gavin Newsom** in 2023.\n\nThe Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, known as DROP, enables Californians to submit a single deletion request that is transmitted to more than 500 registered data brokers.\n\nThe tool was created under the Internet Application Integrity and Disclosure framework established by the Delete Act, or SB 362, which requires data brokers to comply with consumer deletion requests beginning Aug. 1, 2026.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
