@kirschner @techlore @fsfe @pjitendra i think this drastically undersells the concern regarding california and now US federal law. it's correct that these are not age verification bills per se—they create and in fact impose a requirement for "OS vendors" to perform large-scale surveillance of their users in a way that cannot be opted out. this is from the text of the law, which is markedly distinct from any analysis i've read of it, particularly the california bill's determination of "internal" information.
