alt Hacker NewsThe CA/CO law is literally the government writing a law that says it shall be left to the parents but the device must give the parents the options they need.

So these laws state that device makers need to ensure that there is at least one operating system with parental controls that the parents can install?
That would be fine for me but AFAIK that's not what these laws state.

I've obviously read about how bad adult literacy in the US is, but I didn't realize how many "technologists" were impacted by it. The law is short and clear and doesn't involved attestation or age verification. Yet all these "hackers" claim it does just that. The reading comprehensions and critical thinking skills seem to match the national average.

it says that, but the action of hardening devices effectively contradicts what it says
to be charitable, let's say that it "enhances" parental controls by taking on some of that parental enforcement at the state level
