    This isn’t exactly it.

    First or isn’t a company or is the government. 2nd, that legislation is just plain dumb and open source systems like Linux, BSD can’t comply with it, even if they wanted to.

    The whole law should be repealed though. They use children as excuse, bit it is about surveillance.
