Actually, even that's not deep enough.
There are a couple of FediVerse people who have been talking to legislators about the forthcoming #ColoradoLaw to try to get it to not lump #Unix & clones in with the smart 'phone app stores that legislators (as can be seen from the Bill summaries and the California legislative record) thought that they were targetting.
The larger context is that this is version 2.0 legislation, currently pending in 4 states of the U.S.A., after the version 1.0 legislation in Utah, Texas, & Louisiana was blocked by the federal court for the Western District of Texas in January 2026 for being unconstitutional. Louisiana's Bill makes it explicit that it is repealing and replacing the prior Act.
So a version that doesn't lump Unix & clones in with the Microsoft/Google/Apple App Stores that 'App Store Accountability' nominally targets might be version 3.0.
