California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives. Repeating the mistakes of DRM won’t make anyone safer, but it will hurt innovation in the state and risks a slew of new consumer harms ranging from surveillance to platform lock-in. California must stand with creators and reject this legislation before it’s too late.

    This seems dumb. I can imagine users making gun designs that look like dinosaurs. All that is really going to happen is it’s going to be illegal to print shoes here in ten years. 😆
