In case people wanted a 2nd chance to object to a compulsory user account age recording + reporting law (the only people who objected in #California that I have found being only interested in 'gratis' free software on the Google and Apple Stores), #Colorado has a bill going through its state legislature right now. It is much the same text, which seems on course to be model legislation, as #California's, and so will also apply to 'operating system's on 'general purpose computing device's that have 'software application's (package managers) with 'publicly available internet website's that 'facilitate the download of applications from third-party developers' . The sponsors of the bill are (state) senators Matt Ball & Larry Liston, and representatives Amy Paschal & Naquetta Ricks. It has already passed the committee stage and third senate reading. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116174134208480252 https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-051 @nileane@nileane.fr @RunxiYu@social.treehouse.systems #USLaw #CaliforniaLaw #ColoradoLaw #FreeSoftware #GDPR #Unix

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems It concerns #AlpineLinux the same as it concerns every other Linux-based operating system that has a package management utility that talks to a public WWW site. As I said at https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116156019252249071 and as @RunxiYu has also said, the statute as written covers all such systems. (It's an Act now, by the way, not a Bill.) Alpine Linux has a covered application store. Here, for example, is what 'publicly available internet website' apk as the 'software application' uses to 'facilitate the download' of the third-party rustc 'application' from the 'store' in Alpine Linux on the aforementioned #mainframes used by the aforementioned naughty 16-year-olds in #California: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.23/main/s390x/ Yes, #CaliforniaLaw as written is this expansive. Yes, the legislators did not even consider how the BSDs and Linux-based operating systems work. None of the objectors apparently even mentioned how these work. #rust #USLaw #AgeVerification #GDPR #FreeSoftware #Unix

The Netherlands. Today's TV show Radar (20:25, NPO 2) will air an investigation on data collection by big tech on Dutch pharmacy websites. They interviewed me, so perhaps I’m on TV tonight.

@hopeward@sunny.garden It's not. You won't have seen this in San Francisco. But it is happening in the U.K. (which is suffering this to greater extent than the E.U. is, because of Brexit of course). People are being prompted to agree to new #Facebook/#Instagram fees as of this week, or take the only other option of consenting to all of their personal data being harvested and used, for 'AI' and otherwise, by #Meta. https://news.sky.com/story/got-an-instagram-notification-asking-if-you-want-to-pay-3-99-heres-what-you-need-to-know-13500110 @londondreamtime@mastodonapp.uk @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk #privacy #AI #GDPR #cookies

I guess this is just me then? Is #meta rolling out some new concept where you have to accept cookies or pay £4 a month??

@londondreamtime@mastodonapp.uk @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk has been talking about this: https://mastodonapp.uk/@tiggy/115972283051790641 (As have a lot of people in other places. But Tiggy is one of the more prominent ones here.) #Facebook #cookies #Meta #privacy #AI #GDPR
