They’re basically minimum-viable products that by design can be used to violate the law in California when the Act goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
What in leftist infighting hell is even happening in this comment section?
For some people the world is black and white, I think that law is considered bad by everyone, but for some people complaying to state regulation is a crime against humanity itself.
It is either puppies or genocide, no in-between, so adding two lines of code for json support of an age field in a systemd module warrants you to be publicly shamed, called names and probably harrassed irl.
The guy probably just wanted to be able to continue using linux at work, and without that crap he will have to go back to windows
It’s going to be like North Korea and restricted content and operating systems will be smuggled via USB sticks. But because of ram prices we’ll have to use tape
By the way, the current age verification madness is a coordinated lobbying campaign by Meta
AB 1043 passed the California Assembly 76–0 and the Senate 38–0. Not a single legislator voted against it.
1798.503. (a) A person that violates this title shall be subject to an injunction and liable for a civil penalty of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) per affected child for each negligent violation or not more than seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) per affected child for each intentional violation
This device does not collect, store, or transmit the age of its user. This is intentional.

Amazing. Where are the build instructions

Brilliant. I’d like to see how the very uninformed legislators deal with this. They will have to publically re-argue first principles
Why though? How does this force anybody to do anything? They will fine anybody 2500$ for handing this to a kid and call it a day. Maybe even move closer to the maximum fine because it is a deliberate breaking of the law.
I think the grandparent was being sarchastic mate
Edit: at least I hope
Brilliant! 💪
