Prop 65 went great! Let's get a warning out for every game with peer to peer networking while we're at it.

I get the argument, but if that is more than a strawman argument to you, I am bewildered. Making a network connection is infinitely less problematic than having root level access to a kernel (translate to windows language for NT)

The secondary effect is that business will stop using processes and chemicals which require them to carry this warning. You've effectively created a new market segment.

Are the labels annoying to the point of comedy? Sure, but it's not /your/ behavior we were trying to modify.

Seeing the warning everywhere has mostly desensitized people to it, which makes it ineffective.
