California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives. Repeating the mistakes of DRM won’t make anyone safer, but it will hurt innovation in the state and risks a slew of new consumer harms ranging from surveillance to platform lock-in. California must stand with creators and reject this legislation before it’s too late.
Is California just gone fucking mad after newscum? What is up with all these fucked up legislations against private freedom?

they specifically only became supportive of restrictions on personal firearms after minorities started carrying them for protection from law enforcement overreach. It was a whole thing with then-governor Ronald Reagan
Correct. They only care about this stuff because they don’t want anyone to use it on them.
If you don’t believe me, just note how basically every single weapons ban written in the US magically has an exception for law enforcement carved into it. So… We (not me, but all you Californian people) can’t have, say, a butterfly knife but for some reason the cops can? What do they need it for that we don’t, exactly?
I don’t know who newscum is but this state loves inventing new and exciting types of red tape
Gavin (fucking) Newscum.
Is the last one you’re referring to the age verification one? If so, you should know that was good legislation that makes it easy to block federal attempts at something far worse.
Wtf are you talking about? It only blockw the private user. Litterally much more control over the devices inside the USA. Lot more survailance, how is this acceptable?
