It’s just a simple DoB input, which can be local afaik

Go read the bill, particularly section 1798.501.b, 1798.502.a and b. Every developer of every application that can be downloaded from every package system MUST request your age bracket every time it is downloaded. And possibly every time it is launched. Basic utilities like ‘ls’ and ‘cat’, that pong example I pushed as a test, everything.

@BartyDeCanter I saw a video on this...Brian Lunduke's been informing us quite nicely. My question still stands...how on earth is this even going to be able to be implmented in the first place? There are too many utilities for it to work successfully. I question whether the folks in government proposing these rules even discuss the feasibility first.

A couple of options:

  1. It won’t, but will be a tacked on charge for prosecution on other things.
  2. All non-big tech developers and package managers will stop serving to CA IPs.
  3. Fines applied randomly and intermittently to whoever the DA or AG is mad at.
