CA age verification bill AB1856 passed the Assembly and has been sent to the Senate. Today would be a good day to submit a position letter against age verification to be sure it is in before the deadline!

The OS debate isn't just about workflows; it’s a compliance battleground for your fundamental digital rights.
🍎 macOS is a proprietary walled garden.
🪟 Windows is a telemetry funnel for corporate data collection.
🐧 Linux is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). It represents native digital sovereignty.
Look at California’s shifting legislative landscape. Last year’s Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) tried to force operating systems to mandate user age-gating. Lawmakers are trying to correct the mess via AB 1856 to exempt open-source developers but the new bill just pushes the surveillance pipeline further down, forcing browsers to silently track and broadcast user age brackets across the web.
When state laws treat technology as a top-down surveillance mechanism, proprietary systems will gladly bake enforcement right into their closed-source kernels.
FOSS isn't just a development model anymore; it's a critical tool for internet freedom and operational self-defense.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: CA's #AB1856 Exempts #OpenSource But Expands Age-Gating
After public outrage, #California lawmakers are moving closer to exempting open source operating systems from the sweeping age-bracketing regime mandated by last year’s #DigitalAgeAssuranceAct (#AB1043 ). Nonetheless, the current bill still jeopardizes internet users’ speech, #privacy , and #security.

CW: age attestation, California AB1043
Suppose an operating system doesn't issue signals for adult lusers who aren't 'Users' as defined by AB1043 (that is, defining adult lusers to be eighteen years or older).
Further suppose that the California Attorney General issues an injunction against the OS providers as per the law text despite no 'User' being harmed.
Does the Attorney General have legal standing in court to enforce this injunction in the absence of any harmed party?

tried to give the good congressperson from Berkeley #BuffyWicks some feedbak but the location verification software on her website (I kid you not) blocked the contact submission because I don't (thankfully) live in her district. If someone who lives there could politely explain linux to her, that might be useful... #AB1043 https://wicks.asmdc.org/

Hey @linuxfoundation here is a plan under #California law #AB1043:
Sell a standarized, audited compliance module (libagesignal) to corpos. Put an #opensource "Age Signal API" standard. Sell signed the binaries and certification.
I'll bet corpos will lobby the hell out the law.

I see the #California #AB1043 law as a troyan horse for #OpenSource support.
All "OS providers" should have in their license that its use under California law should be prohibed...
...and offer a paid license to cover maintaining the API for #AgeCheck. Make Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Oracle pay for using #Linux.
I can fucking guarantee you they'll lobby the hell out of the law the moment they are forced to pay something out of their books.

These unjust age verification laws will force more people into "piracy."
It reminds me of that Gabe Newell quote about "piracy":
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."
