Most blogs don’t have consumers’ personal information, do they? How many blogs have you registered with? I can’t remember the last time I did that. If I read a blog, the most they can do is cookie reading/writing, which is not PII.


You've made several claims in your comments that don't hold up to even a few minutes of basic research. You can Google the definition of PII in the CCPA. You can Google whether emails can be legally binding.

If you don't bother to check whether the things you're saying are true, you burden everyone else with the effort of correcting you.
