      You are right because maybe then they would lose some money and that is the only thing the us government cares about.

      So once you start disrupting that, maybe shit will get different. Idk though, I’m not very optimistic about most things tbh.

      However its worth noting that, in the actual github commit one of the developers for system 76 said that they are in talks with legislators right now and that this may be overturned, not even apply to open source operating systems, etc.

      And one of the maintainers said and I quote, “It is possible that California law will be changed. But similar ideas are popping up in other contexts and it’s unlikely that they’ll all go away. This implementation is fairly generic and useful for other things besides age verification, so we shouldn’t decide whether to merge it or not based on a single law in any jurisdiction.” -keszybz

      So, it kind of seems like they have a rock hard erection to lick any pair of boots they can, not just the USA ones.
