I do like the topic you chose, and think you are off to a good start for your introduction and section headers. I think when it is more complete, you will have a better idea of the flow and language needed as being a Wiki article, but I did leave some recommendations below and some feedback on what is in this draft. Best of luck in writing the final draft!

Length: At its current state, it does not meet the 3000 word count for totality. However, you do only have your introduction written in this draft, so I am confident that you will come closer to meeting the 3000 word count as you fill in the content sections. As far as going forward with this, I would recommend dispersing the information well enough to where the sections are close to equally sized (some sections may not have as much information, and that's okay!).

Structure: I think the opening introduction was well written and does explain the topic elaborately enough to the reader. I do recommend ending the introduction paragraph with more of an open-ended sentence that invites the reader to view the contents. Whether thats a summary sentence or something, that may be worth adding. Although you only have that introduction for this draft, I did notice your content headers below it. With the skeleton you have in place, I feel as if you have a good structure for the page, and that once completed and filled in, it will mesh together and flow well. As you are writing, don't forget to at least keep track of your sources as you go along, while also ensuring the sources are reliable. In addition, it may be worthwhile to combine the Opinion sections together like you did for the Involved Parties section [Maybe like a "Corporate vs Consumer Opinion", or "Comparing Corporate and Consumer Opinions"]. This may make the article look a bit cleaner. I would also bold "California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)" in the first sentence, as it is the first time you mentioned it in the Wiki article. In addition, (which I am not sure where this would apply, but I thought maybe structure) you may want to link other words of other Wiki pages that may help the reader understand the information a bit better. These can be words that you think may be confusing to a common reader, enabling them to access that page instantly, allowing them to become more accurately educated as they read along. Overall, you have the 3 major components of an article within your article in some form, all of which can be improved or added upon.

Clarity: Your introduction does a great job of introducing the California Consumer Privacy Act to someone who may not have been introduced to it before. I would definitely recommend maintaining the language you used in the introduction in the rest of your article as well. In an effort to both add more sources and solidify any information remaining, I would recommend bringing in more examples that pertain to the specific issue you are trying to zoom in on. As of right now, it is hard for me to gauge, but be sure to make it clear to the audience in both the introduction and supporting content sections when writing your final draft.

Objective Reporting: So far, your introduction appears to do a good job with objective reporting. With that being said though, the ethical issues have not been discussed too much in this draft, so it is hard to give feedback at this point in time. I have noticed that you included some sources already, which is good. I would just recommend, as you finalize it, being cautious with how you write your content sections, making sure to source correctly and write the content neutrally (by the standards of Wikipedia).
