I’m glad for the EU, California, and other places that are big enough to force this sort of stuff nationally or globally.
Every so often the phrase “where California goes the nation follows” comes true. I had a feeling about this one, but not so soon nor decisively.
Same thing happened with net neutrality, California put NN into law, and the rest of the country followed because it doesn’t make sense to build a separate Internet for California.
Didn’t they influence the creation of this law? I’m still sceptical of its effectiveness.
4 choices: don’t sell in CA, fight the law, make a separate phone to meet R2R laws that are likely going to become more prevalent, release a press report portraying magnanimity towards R2R and make the bare minimum effort to meet the law.
The last is the only real answer.
