- California may let Linux bypass age check
California's Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) may exempt open-source operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD from age verification requirements. Proposed amendments, including AB 1856, define 'open source' to exclude entities requiring age checks, potentially freeing Linux vendors from compliance. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and others criticize the law for stifling digital liberties and entrenching major OS providers.
