I dont think digital security is recoverable in any US govt infra now. it will all need to be nuked from orbit and replaced.

totally fair, however I think these laws.should be treated as though they might apply and pushed back on appropriately. things have been weird for a while and are getting weirder.
- Comment on Utah becomes the first state to pass an app store age-verification bill and require parental consent for minors to download apps; the bill heads to the governor. 1 month ago:
definitions
(5) “App store” means a publicly available website, software application, or electronic service that distributes apps from third-party developers to users.
requirements
(1) An app store provider shall: (a) at the time an individual who is located in the state creates an account with the app store provider: (i) request age information from the individual; and (ii) verify the individual’s age using commercially available methods that are reasonably designed to ensure accuracy;
I dont see how any anonymously accessible repository legally escapes the account and age verification requirement without some sort of specific carveout.
the wording of the bill seems terrible - their definition of “mobile device” and “mobile operating system” are just plain stupid an could apply to your laptop running almost any OS.
I just did a quick parsing, but did I miss something in the bill that offers legal protection to non-commercial repositories?
