I wrote the blog post from yesterday’s HN story, and that last paragraph is what worried me. I know I’m not a business, and I don’t make money from my project, and believe I’m not subject to the CCPA because of that. I dread the idea of having to prove that in court, though, and how expensive it might be to (hopefully!) prove I’m not liable for even accidentally violating it.

There’s a reason patent trolls, copyright trolls, ADA trolls, etc. go after small entities: they’re more like to pay a small settlement out of fear than risk taking it to court and being bankrupted.
