@iaruffell@mastodon.scot @dr2chase@ohai.social I'd say the cynical answer is "because they expect *this* law will actually be enforced". But I guess that's what you where getting at anyways.

@Merovius@chaos.social @dr2chase@ohai.social Well, it is one answer. But I was also thinking about how "protect the kids" rhetoric has been internalised onthe one hand, and how folk just want crips to go away and stop being untidy on the other. I guess those are the underlying factors both for expectation of enforcement and for complying in advance.

@Merovius@chaos.social @iaruffell@mastodon.scot @dr2chase@ohai.social No, anybody who's actually looked at the situation from a distro perspective expects it won't. They're not the idea of "OS" the bill's clueless authors thought "OS" means, the terms aren't defined well, they may be breaking other laws by complying, etc. The people rushing to comply are folks who really want to be kissing boots.
