I know Montana was first to put something into effect at the beginning of the year but I think that was just data the ISPs collect. After the Facebook fiasco I'm sure it will be amended to include any entity that collects data. Most states are in the process of doing the same since our government doesn't seem willing.

Could this be the beginning of the end for this type of collecting, tabulating and selling data? One can only hope.

In this article it mentions the way it came to be. It also mentions that it can be dismantled because it was not due to the peoples vote. That said, if they tamper with it to neuter it, it will end up on the ballot, it will be passed by the voters and all the legislators will most likely be voted out of office.

So to the many slimy politicians in Sacramento, just try and neuter it. :D
