Look at his latest move: pouring lobbying money into laws like California’s #AB1043 to force Apple, Google, and even Linux to handle age verification at the OS layer.
He wants the operating system to be the age cop while Meta keeps its addiction loops running at full throttle.

🚨 URGENT: California and Colorado are forcing Windows, macOS, and Linux to bake surveillance into the kernel. AB 1043 and SB 26-051 turn your OS into a government ID checker.
Your computer shouldn't be "signaling" your age to every app you launch. 🧵 (1/5) #StopOSSpies #PrivacyFirst #AB1043
To make Linux compliant with CA AB 1043, do we just hook PAM up to Auth0 to serve age signals? Nothing screams Unix Philosophy like needing a live web token and internet access just to run basic local utilities lol. #Linux #FOSS #TechLaw #AB1043 #LawmakersWhoCantCode #PrivacyTheater

A government trying to make it to where they have to give you permission to do with your devices, your property, that's Orwell's 1984. This isn't China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. Let's not let it become that.

When #AB1043 goes into effect, I'm going to make requests to get the age-check information for all the big-tech servers. The vague definition of "application" could be interpreted as accessing a #Google or #Facebook
API, which means that I, as a developer, need to know the age of the account […]
La legge californiana AB 1043 obbligherà, dal 1° gennaio 2027, tutti i sistemi operativi a raccogliere la data di nascita durante la configurazione iniziale per rispettare le norme sulla tutela dei minori. Le comunità Linux discutono come adeguarsi. #AB1043 #PrivacyMinori #Linux
How nice of you, Gavin. If you care for freedom why did you sign #AB1043? I don't believe a word you say about really caring about "rights". The bills you sign in your state make it easier for people who want total control.
A dystopian nightmare. This #AB1043 thingy is starting to get really disgusting + infuriating. Nobody seems to grasp the implications, even industry experts were completely unaware. As I said, it was approved by the plenary session and signed by #Newsom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfj0...
#AB1043: 60 Democrats voted for this dystopian shit. #Newsom signed it. Resisters, are you comfortable with this or do you want to "save kids" the way Republicans are doing it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCtW...
Really disappointing that #Newsom signed this dystopian shite. He's not better than the #palantir madmen. To hell with this control freak. No #AB1043!
While California's #ab1043 may seem like it's on the right track, it can create issues with open-source software and open the door to future "stronger" protections (ID verification). Enforcing such legislation is simply unfeasible and toxic towards hobbyist developers. Learn more:
To the zero people reading this: age verification = identity verification = mass surveillance. It has nothing to do with "protecting children", as evidenced by its support from the pedophiles & pedophile enablers of the Epstein Administration. Incidentally, fuck off @gavinnewsom.bsky.social #ab1043
