California AB 1043 signed. Mandatory os-level, device-level, app store, and even developer-required age verification for all computing devices.


Holy crap. As a consequence they’re outlawing open source operating system, as you can easily recompile with the OS level age verification disabled.
Great idea to give politicians the tools for mass surveilance and censorship. At no point will a authoritarian get into political power and use these technologies for his own benefit.
Their egoism and dumbness drives these politicians to become terrible terrible evil people.
