> This is the governments first plunge into mandating things on the frontend.

ADA mandates computer accessibility, as frequently interpreted by courts. CCPA & GDPR mandate a whole bunch of stuff. Hardly the first plunge.

In the context of surveillance, yes it is. I know the EU is looking down the barrel of chat control, but I'm pretty sure this California law has already been passed and goes into effect January 2027.

ADA has only ever been interpreted to apply to services. No prior law has ever been applied to specify how an OS should function.

This law violates the first amendment and will be overturned. Until then it must be resisted.
