What baffles me is that those lawmakers think they can just legislate any problem with law.
So okay, California requires it. None of the other states do. None of the rest of the Internet does. It doesn’t fix anything.
They act like the Internet is like cable and it’s all american companies that “provides” services to end users.
Inb4 AI devs just slap a generic “click this box to confirm you are not in California” verification on their shit.
If the server isn’t even in California, would it even apply/be enforceable to them?
Whilst I agree with the other op, this point is just wrong.
Replace “california” in your argument with “European union” and the whole thing just crumbles away. State legislation absolutely has a wider effect than the state it originates in.
so youre saying nothing should be done? great idea
They call it the California effect for a reason.
