It’s also what Linux should be doing in general,. It’s not even the US. It’s a fucking state in the US that is doing something stupid on behalf of Meta.
Any Linux distro should just put the onus on the CA legislature. Have a TOS that specifies that it does not comply with CA law, and as such isn’t legal there. No need for any implementation change. Businesses in CA can take it upon themselves to comply by maintaining a fork that adds any sort of BS. But, more than likely, the dimwits who didn’t know better and listened to Meta, might be surprised to find jusy how much everything runs on Linux (except a tiny number of user facing devices).
Many distros are run by large companies that don’t care. RedHat, Canonical, etc.
I would argue that everyone deserves privacy and freedom
No, we absolutely deserve it because privacy is a fundamental right.
Motorola will probably want to ship a compliant* device in those regions.
“So be it” may mean you’ll just buy the device with stock AOSP, and a warranty condition that allows flashing GrapheneOS. Hell, you’d slip a piece of paper in the box with flashing instructions.
That’s likely exactly what it means.
I do wonder if Motorola will back them on this.
I had the same thought. I could imagine a situation where Motorola is afraid about bad PR and them quitting their deal over it. Depending how far this goes.
I think it would behoove Motorola to make their bootloader unlockable (sorry, is that a hardware thing?), and let the consumer have the option to put whatever OS on it they wish.
Firmware. It’s up to the OEM to enable it.
I agree, we font
