Other open source software gets similar treatment, with Colorado going as far as explicitly excluding code repositories and container platforms.

I haven't heard anyone saying they want to take this to a referendum in Colorado. If we collect enough signatures, the bill has to go on the November ballot and we can collectively vote it down as a state. Even if we lose, it might buy us time.

Why is no one talking about this? Why is there no info about anyone doing anything right now? All I see are daily threads about how we should do something.

    Because it's difficult, confusing, or sometimes both. I'm not from CO so I can't speak to whether or not that part is confusing or not (though I'd not be surprised if the average citizen wasn't even aware this was an option for them.) The hard part would be that you have to collect signatures which eats up time.

    Which isn't to say you shouldn't do it. I think it's a great idea!

    We were distracted by fucking Jared Polis' new fling. I wasnt, I contacted my rep in Lakewood about it. Who then voted for it anyways. Fucking suburbs nothing ever changes

    The bill passed and was signed. The next option is legal battles.
