Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow

I’m sorry I am really not seeing what you are referencing from your link. This appears to be a link to the state administration manual which deals with how departments in the state of California operate.

This does not appear to be a law especially when you look at the procedure for revising the SAM.

Responsibility for updating SAM content is assigned to authoring state departments

Ie. Not assembly members.

1798.503(b) An operating system provider or a covered application store that makes a good faith effort to comply with this title, taking into consideration available technology and any reasonable technical limitations or outages, shall not be liable for an erroneous signal indicating a user’s age range or any conduct by a developer that receives a signal indicating a user’s age range.

OR instead of having to collect that info at all you just put “OS not for cali” on the user agreement and just not deal with the risk.

  You are right. I have no additional response to this that would not make me sound like an asshole.

    What an odd thing to say. I do think that california based projects/products will try to follow (at least show an attempt) as you say but as big a market cali is there just is no reason for a OS (more so a donation funded linux one) to pander to one state.
