Supporters of Proposition 24 say that polls show that Californians want more privacy protection in regards to online data. They say the measure would protect consumers from being profiled based on location, sexual orientation, health status, or religion. They point to the measure's provision that it can't be amended without the approval of voters at the ballot box as a necessary way to further cement privacy protections.

Opponents of Proposition 24 claim the measure is deeply misleading and is full of privacy reductions and benefits to social media platforms and big tech companies that will further misuse our personal information.
