fax.html: seven-step wizard — address entry, legislator pick, persona (parent/developer/student/privacy), educational walkthrough, customizable compose with live PDF-style preview, verify, send. Expects serverless endpoints /api/fax/lookup, /api/fax/send, /api/fax/status. Fails clean and points to ffwf.net/contact when endpoints are absent. No mock data. OG meta tags, share buttons, mobile responsive. fax-transparency.html: the shame wall. 10/538 federal members with DC fax, target-state coverage tables, 120/120 California algorithmic coverage. Nav link added to every page. RSS entry for launch.

Scope: operating systems, app stores, social media, games, and "any software

(Art. 9) — requires "proportional, auditable, and technically secure" age

surveillance" (Art. 37). The law demands real verification, forbids asking

implementing regulations defining what methods are acceptable. Penalties up to

<h2>Analysis</h2>
|
|
<h3>Two Models, Same Problem</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These laws follow two distinct models, but both create the same
|
|
compliance moat for open-source operating systems
|
|
(see Goldman, <a href="citations.html#goldman">"Segregate-and-Suppress"</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="card">
|
|
<h4 style="margin-top:0;">Model A: App Store Accountability (TX, UT, LA)</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Focuses on <strong>app stores</strong>. Requires "commercially reasonable"
|
|
age verification — which could mean government ID checks. Requires parental
|
|
consent for minors. Texas version has been blocked as likely unconstitutional
|
|
under the First Amendment. Utah is the only state with a private right of action
|
|
(individuals can sue, not just the AG).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-top:8px; color:var(--text-dim); font-size:14px;">
|
|
<strong>Linux impact:</strong> Primarily affects app store operators. If
|
|
<code>apt</code>, Flathub, or Snap Store are "covered application stores,"
|
|
their maintainers have obligations. Individual distro maintainers face
|
|
less direct liability, but the definition is broad enough to sweep them in.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="card">
|
|
<h4 style="margin-top:0;">Model B: OS-Level Age Assurance (CA, CO; MI withdrawn)</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Focuses on <strong>operating system providers</strong>. Requires self-declared
|
|
age collection at account setup, real-time API for age signals. No ID
|
|
verification — just a birthdate field. This is the model that directly
|
|
targets Linux distributions, because it requires the OS itself to collect
|
|
and transmit age data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-top:8px; color:var(--text-dim); font-size:14px;">
|
|
<strong>Linux impact:</strong> Every distribution is an "operating system
|
|
provider." Every maintainer who ships a custom image is a person who
|
|
"controls the operating system software on a general purpose computing
|
|
device." Ageless Linux exists to make this absurdity tangible.

<p>
|
|
Apple and Google already comply. The 600+ volunteer Linux distributions
|
|
cannot. The compliance cost is zero for trillion-dollar platform companies
|
|
and prohibitive for community projects. Both models passed with overwhelming
|
|
bipartisan support. Both were supported by the major platform companies.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style="margin-top:8px;">
|
|
This is not a coincidence. This is a compliance moat.

The EFF <a href="citations.html#eff-windfall">calls this pattern</a>
|
|
"a windfall for Big Tech and a death sentence for smaller platforms."
