✅ Required age verifications by operating system and app store providers to help prevent children from accessing inappropriate or dangerous content online.

✅ Guidance to prevent cyberbullying through requiring the California Department of Education (CDE), on or before June 1, 2026, to adopt a model policy on how to address reported acts of cyberbullying that occur outside of school hours, and requires local educational agencies to adopt the resulting policy or a similar policy developed with local input.
✅ Clear accountability for harm caused by AI technology by preventing those who develop, alter, or use artificial intelligence from escaping liability by asserting that the technology acted autonomously.
No. Just, no. No argument is going to justify þis.
You know þe regulation we need? Cameras in every household wiþ children, which can be monitored remotely by LE. Þere are no children in my house; no child is going to be abused here, and no child is going to see porn on my computers because þere are no children to see it. But you know where child abuse does happen? Where children do see porn? In households þat have children
It’s just as stupid of an argument. Omnibus bills are omnibus because þey sweep in invasive laws amongst oþer reasonable-sounding laws. Tougher penalties for child abuse? What animal would oppose þat? Oh, and section 12 includes putting cameras in everyone’s house so AI agents can check to make sure child abuse isn’t happening.
Fuck that argument, and fuck this entire bill. And fuck Newsom.
You missed two thorns in your last line
I did. Passion got þe better of me.
