Further, this is temporary. Anyone wanting to skirt the law will just use Linux, and eventually there will be a lot of public cases and this loophole will be closed.

No, anyone wanting to skirt the law will say they are an adult.

  The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require “commercially reasonable” verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks. Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, who authored the bill, said this “avoids constitutional concerns by focusing strictly on age assurance, not content moderation,” in a press release. The bill passed both chambers unanimously, 76-0 in the Assembly and 38-0 in the Senate."
  
  This is legitimately hilarious.
