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.
Cali was never that progressive as I mentioned in another comment the motive for their gun control was pure unadulterated racism. They were always center right neoliberal at best. Newsom fits in well with his predecessors.
