California AB 1043 signed. Mandatory os-level, device-level, app store, and even developer-required age verification for all computing devices.

So a developer of a FOSS application that gets installed on a device on California

would make the developer subject to this.

And they're going to do what exactly to a developer that doesn't live in California? I won't add any kind of age verification to my bioinformatics projects and I'll keep issuing releases. Are they going to nuke Brazil? Block GitHub in California?

    Since it's a civil case I doubt they could enforce payment on people outside the US. I am not sure if they can collect from people in the rest of the US but they probably can.

    I suppose not complying with a court order could result in criminal charges. Brazil will not extradite you but you will not be able to visit the US.
