Линуксоиды, разъясните сову, а?
Mar. 1st, 2026 04:50 pmЭто законодатели Калифорнии обкурились или я чего-то не догоняю?
Грубо говоря, с лета 2027 года все калифорнийские дистрибьюторы любой операционки, включая Линукс, обязаны предоставлять механизм верификации возраста юзера в реальном времени и пушать этот механизм на все программы, которые на этой операционке идут. С дикими штрафами за неподчинение.
Ниже даю два источника, но это все гуглится норм. (Только ИИ не спрашивайте, и без него гуглится на ура).
Так меня интересует это "включая Линукс". Если я в Калифорнии куплю комп без операционки, сама скачаю Линукс и установлю - кого они будут штрафовать?

Operating System Providers: An operating system provider is a person or entity that develops, licenses, or controls the operating system software on a computer, mobile device, or any other general-purpose computing device.
Operating System Providers Must Provide an Accessible Interface at Account Setup for Age Verification and Provide Age Bracket Signals Upon Developer’s Request. Operating system providers must provide an accessible interface at account setup requiring account holders to indicate the birth date, age, or both, of the device’s primary user. This is to provide a signal regarding the user’s age bracket to applications available in covered application stores. Operating system providers must also (1) provide, upon a developer’s request, a digital signal specifying the user’s age bracket, (2) minimize data sharing to only what is necessary for compliance with the Act, and (3) not share signal information with a third party for a purpose not required by the Act.

California's Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043), signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2025, requires every operating system provider in California to collect age information from users at account setup and transmit that data to app developers via a real-time API, with the law taking effect on January 1, 2027.
The law's broad definition of an "operating system provider" — anyone who "develops, licenses, or controls the operating system software on a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device" — pulls in not just Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, but Linux distributions and Valve's SteamOS.
According to AB 1043, OS providers must maintain a "reasonably consistent real-time application programming interface" that categorizes users into four age brackets — under 13, 13 to under 16, 16 to under 18, and 18 or older — and hand that signal to any developer who requests it when their app is downloaded or launched.

Date: 2026-03-01 06:26 pm (UTC)Ну очевидное же "Право читать" Столлман еще 30 лет назад предупреждал что компиляторы и дебаггеры будут приравнены к оружию. Он, правда тогда полагал что поводом будет копирайт, а оказывается "защита детей от информации".
Очевидным следующим шагом будет поставить на исходники Линукса гриф 18+.

Я жду не дождусь уже когда придет ИИ и погонит всех этих кожаных мешков из законодателей ссаными тряпками.
