The CCPA is far better than the GDPR. For one, they actually managed to make an effective privacy law that didn't have the knock-on effect of polluting the entire internet with pointless cookie banners. The EU is already making moves to scrap huge parts of their misguided privacy regulations and adopt rules more like what California did with the CCPA.

California lawmakers "adopted the GDPR" only insofar as they studied it to learn what not to do.
