Colorado Adds Open-Source Exemption to Age-Verification Bill

It’s still not good that these bills are setting the expectation that speech can be compelled. “You must add this sentence to the foreword of all books you write, unless you use the CC0 license” would still be an unconstitutional infringement of free speech even though it exempts authors who use a free license.

Given the current broad assault on civil liberties, though, I’ll take any small victories we can get.

Meta is behind this.
