However, two topics stood out above the others: - **California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)** CCPA was far and away the most popular topic of 2019 and, as mentioned in [one of our last posts of the year](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2019/12/articles/ccpa-marathon-january-1-might-be-the-midway-point/), ​“businesses and privacy professionals would do well to catch their breath over the holiday season. Next year is going to need focus and investment to reach the \[CCPA\] finish line (which, yes, will continue to move because this is privacy law, after all).” Here are a few CCPA related posts you may want to read if you haven’t already: - [Broad Range of Implementation Worries Surfaces at CCPA Rulemaking Hearing in LA](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2019/12/articles/broad-range-of-implementation-worries-surfaces-at-ccpa-rulemaking-hearing-in-la/)December 5 - - [Be Careful What You Say About the CCPA](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2019/11/articles/be-careful-what-you-say-about-the-ccpa/)November 12 - - [CCPA Update: California Attorney General Issues Draft Privacy Rules](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2019/10/articles/ccpa-update-california-attorney-general-issues-draft-privacy-rules/)October 11 - - [CCPA Update: Legislature Amends the CCPA to Exclude Employee Data, B2B Communications for One Year](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2019/09/articles/ccpa-update-legislature-amends-the-ccpa-to-exclude-employee-data-b2b-communications-for-one-year/)September 15 - **The FTC’s Powers Under Section 13(b)** The continuing questions over the extent of the FTC’s enforcement authority to obtain monetary relief under Section 13(b) were a popular topic with Ad Law Access readers.
