California passes bill declaring death-by-algorithm to 3D-printed ghost guns
California passed Assembly Bill 2047, requiring 3D printer manufacturers to embed algorithms blocking the production of 3D-printed ghost gun components by July 2028. The bill faces criticism from technologists and privacy advocates over concerns about surveillance and enforcement, and must still be approved by the California State Senate and Governor Gavin Newsom.
