Of course, the developers could *choose* to not implement that change and make software that could not be used legally, in the same way that users can *choose* to not fill that field and risk being brought to justice. But for the user to be able to make the choice, the developer must implement it 🙂

@ammdias @iaruffell Yeah lots of options for not building fascist infrastructure into formerly-free software. And here we are watching people freely make the wrong decisions.

@ammdias @unikitty So the stock response on accessibility is "If you want accessibility, write it yourself." Actually, that doesn,t even work, as offers of help in my experience are rarely encouraged. Nothing is preventing Californian legislators from adding this, er, feature from their ProtectTheKids distro.
