Sadly, the only real response here is non-compliance. Recently, credit card company wanted me to provide ID upon login ( I was amused -- while my setup may not be common, it has not changed for years now ). So I didn't and just ignored it. I checked on it this month and it suddenly was fine. But then.. one has to be willing to take a hit to their credit and whatnot.

The point remains though. They have zero way to enforce it if we choose to not comply. Just saying.

They have plenty of ways to enforce it. It's a law, they can take you to court. I guess it's easy to forget these days but laws do still apply to some people. If you're going to host a service, I guess consider using Tor or something.

Friend. On this very forum, you will normally see me argue that further deterioration of civil society is bad and we should be doing everything to maintain society as is. However, as with most things, there is a limit. That limit varies from person to person, but it is getting harder and harder to argue that laws apply ( especially once you recognize they don't quite apply across the board ).

<< If you're going to host a service, I guess consider using Tor or something.

That one confused me. What do you mean?

I think the person meant that if you don't comply there may be civil or criminal consequences, so if you want to knowingly provide a non compliant website or app, you should host it on tor to prevent your person from being the subject of the state.

I know the CA law is civil only, so I don't think there is much CA can do if you publish an OS and don't make money from CA folks, but other implementations may decide to impose criminal penalties.

Thank you. That makes sense.
