Isn’t there usually a legislative analyst blurb on each prop? I mean, that’s strictly about costs but can be insightful on occasion. [Kevin Drum](https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2020/10/a-short-guide-to-californias-2020-ballot-initiatives/), LA blogger since 2003, posted his takes on all the initiatives today, and sez: > [@](#): > > Prop 24 **[Tightens California’s consumer privacy laws.](https://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/24/) NO.** This is a tricky one. Prop 24 has some good features that would help consumers, but it also has some murky provisions that might hurt consumers. There are concerns, for example, that it might protect “pay for privacy” programs that allow the better off to enjoy better privacy protection than the working poor. The NAACP supports Prop 24, the local ACLU opposes it, and the EFF is neutral. It’s supposedly designed to close some loopholes in California’s 2018 privacy law, but I’m not sure it’s wise to do this after giving the law only two years on the books. If Prop 24 were clearer and better written I might consider voting for it even given its defects. In its current form, however, I’d vote no. Other than that, from [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/california-statewide-propositions-2020/922345), Dems abstain, GOP is on board, LAT likes it and SFChron doesn’t. I’m still trying to figure my own take. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-california-proposition-help-prop-24/922387)._
