@krahabors @WeirdWriter No idea.

But systemd is used by many linuxen.
And even server OSes have users, and can be used on your laptop (or a VM image).

Depending on how the law is worded, these may or may not be in scope.

But for this question, I recommend you speak to a (qualified) sollicitor, which I am not. <3

@WeirdWriter I don't know. I hear systemd has a patch. Which wouldn't surprise me, because redhat (a company) probably wants to keep selling their OS to big tech companies in California.

But I've also seen a debian post on this, that tries to bring this to its logical conclusion.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2026/03/msg00018.html
Which can be used as a basis for arguing this is a bad law.

On the need for a censorship API for legal compliance reasons in some countries and U.S. states

CATU Waterford Statement on Horrific Mount Suir Incident:

When I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".

Ha-ha.

@gnoll110 I know that's a common attitude but in effect, kids who are honest get harmed by their computer. The operating system of a computer should never be designed to purposely harm you. I don't think that's the case anymore with Linux if this nonsense becomes a reality.

I'm not seeing many talk about this but it should be. A bill has been proposed in India that would take away our right to self determination and erases many groups like trans-men. I've made a post on the bill and its issue. If your in India. Please make sure your voice is heard. The bill being heard on the 23rd of march. We can't let them pass it
