Other open source software gets similar treatment, with Colorado going as far as explicitly excluding code repositories and container platforms.

I imagine that, while good on the surface, the apps that will then require the age information called from the OS will just reject any platform that doesn’t provide it, essentially segregating the internet.
Which, adding more and more friction makes it more likely that users will just give up and submit to giving up their privacy.
But that isn’t mandated in the laws
Regardless they can destroy the clearnet and we’ll make our own internet with blackjack and hookers
Yet.
But it doesn’t need to be once the data exists, corporations can build their websites however they like once the data is mandated to exist. Think about how your browser, if not chrome, will often break/slow down on YouTube because google wants you to use chrome/have ads play on YouTube. Or how captcha will just sometimes break and force you to use a chrome browser (which exposes a bunch of data)…cause google again. None of that is mandated by law.
Don’t forget the legislation is funded by Meta. They want that delicious, scrumptious data that will help them legally avoid COPPA and target/collect data on child accounts and get them addicted while young.
And I know we will. We’re cool like that.
I expect I’ll need a phone that I turn on from time to time that’s got all my details logged so I can access things like banking and tax.
