California's Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform went live January 1, and full enforcement teeth kicked in August 1. It's the first real test of whether a single opt-out can work against an industry worth hundreds of billions.
Agility's Digit and Figure's 02 are logging real hours at Spanx and BMW, with measurable payback periods. The catch is that the economics only clear for repetitive, structured work.

RCS fixed read receipts, typing indicators, and media quality across platforms, but cross-platform messages still lack end-to-end encryption that same-platform chats have.
Encrypted mempools, intent-based architectures, and order flow auctions are cutting off the information edge that let searchers extract value from ordinary trades.
