      The people writing this law don’t know what it is. They assume operating systems are Windows, masOS, Android, iOS and nothing more - all walled gardens (1 and 3 slowly becoming so). They probably haven’t even heard those names.

      This is unenforceable. That doesn’t mean it won’t be signed into law.
