@navi@social.vlhl.dev @domi@donotsta.re @ska@social.treehouse.systems I predicted the storm, as well as a systemd-aged, as well as the #GDPR angle, over a fortnight ago. It took less than a day from my post for the first person, in reply, to propose an actual such #AgeVerification dæmon. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116156028746782578 This clearly model legislation is also slightly different in different states, as at least two legislatures amended the original bill. Which is going to cause further problems. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116176048755057656 #ColoradoLaw #IllinoisLaw #CaliforniaLaw #USLaw #Unix

I foresee:

  1. #Debian eventually following #MidnightBSD's lead and cutting #California off from #FreeSoftware; after lengthy mailing list discussions where at least one person tries to deny with convoluted nonsense the plain reading of the statute.

  2. A storm when someone points out that the #MobaXTerm version of APT isn't exempt, nor is RPM. (Goodness knows what IBM is going to do.)

  3. An even bigger storm when someone adds an 'age' field to systemd's JSON User Records, to be enforced and served out over Desktop Bus via a systemd-aged service or some such. Much fun if that someone comes from a #GDPR country.

  4. Some nutter taking a Linux distribution to court because it doesn't enable developers to control whether 16-year-olds can install rustc and busybox.

Another 2nd chance to tell legislators that the mechanisms that we have inherited from #Unix, and used in loads of #FreeSoftware operating systems from #NetBSD to #Tribblix, do not have date of birth/age fields for user accounts, is #Illinois, where HB5511 is the very same text as #California's, too. https://my.ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocTypeID=HB&DocNum=5511&GAID=18&LegID=167486 It really does seem at this point that this is model legislation. Sponsors in Illionois are Jennifer Gon

Sponsors in Illionois are Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz, Margaret Croke, Janet Yang, Rohr, Kimberly Du Buclet, Natalie A. Manley, Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar, Rick Ryan, Michelle Mussman, Martha Deuter and Tracy Katz Muhl. The bill is in the judiciary–civil committee as of yesterday. It was introduced last month, 1 day after it was introduced in Colorado. I wonder in what other states it has just turned up. A lobby organization handing pre-drafted bills to multiple sets of legislators is not unknown. @nileane@nileane.fr @RunxiYu@social.treehouse.systems#CaliforniaLaw #USLaw #IllinoisLaw #FreeSoftware #AgeVerification
