The law defines a public webpage as a covered app store. Anything that can run doom and view a webpage is potentially covered.

It's way overbroad and unclear how it could be implemented, and likely to be challenged in court if it even gets that far.

    Definitely broad and "just trust us bro" energy.

    I'm looking for orgs fighting the Colorado one. I got "replaced" by AI recently, so I have all the time in the world to write letters, make calls, and go to town halls. I just don't want to do it alone.
