Remember all the ruckus with various US states introducing operating-system level age verification laws? Colorado and California thankfully exempt open source.
I almost wish California had stuck to their guns and the tech industry had pulled the plug on the whole state. Making an exception is not as good of a teacher for your neighbours as burning your own house down.
They would’ve just made it the default for everyone. This is borderline accelerationism; it’s better to not burn down the house. They weren’t going to learn shit, it would’ve just spread and gotten worse from there.
Think of all the great stuff that’s banned and restricted right now. Do you see people learning lessons?
