A medida que los parlamentos estatales se preparan para 2026, estamos asistiendo a una tendencia ya conocida y preocupante: los legisladores se apresuran a regular Internet basándose en datos científicos sorprendentemente poco sólidos. Desde la Massachusetts y Minnesota Universidad de Brown, han...

With AB 1856, California lawmakers could have dramatically narrowed the harmful age-bracketing regime set to go into effect next year. Instead, the bill extends those requirements to browsers and websites. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/one-step-forward-two-steps-back-cas-ab-1856-exempts-open-source-expands-age-gating
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: CA's AB 1856 Exempts Open Source But Expands Age-Gating

After public outrage, California lawmakers are moving closer to exempting open source operating systems from the sweeping age-bracketing regime mandated by last year’s Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043).

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
