    That’s going to be so much fun for the literal millions of automatically provisioned servers owned by silicon valley companies.

    On a related note how do they define a computer? Will smart tvs need it? What about smart thermostats? Cars?

    What about desktop PCs with no webcams?

      Apparently, from clicking the link in the article:

      (g) “Operating system provider” means a person or entity that develops, licenses, or controls the operating system software on a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device.

      But I fully agree with you that they didn’t think this through very well. Seems that nowadays, politicians see it as their jobs to destroy all the beautiful things that technology built. :(
