It says that OS developers must track users or be fined, so they will track users.
Explicitly bars OS devs from sending more data than explicitly necessary to meet 1
The statute does not define:
What counts as “minimum”
How necessity is measured
Whether “minimum” refers to data fields, granularity, frequency, or retention
Whether metadata (e.g., device ID, timestamp, API call logs) is included or excluded
This legislature calls App Providers and developers to track people and barely even gives lipservice to what is allowed.
We don’t want our OS’s tied to our identities. This does not explicitly forbid that

Read the law (its barely 1000 words) because your claims are not substantiated by it.

I already read it. That’s how i came up with what I wrote man.
You go re-read it and tell me
What counts as “minimum”
How necessity is measured
Whether “minimum” refers to data fields, granularity, frequency, or retention
They don’t cover shit about ANY of that.

It literally explains the minimum as asking the user for their age, DOB, or both. It then says delopers may not ask for more than the minimum data.
If this is confusing I don’t know what to tell you.
