Gavin Newsom said he opposes mandate on mobile operating system developers.
But Newsom said he is opposed to the new bill’s mandate on operating systems. “I am concerned, however, about placing a mandate on operating system (OS) developers at this time,” the governor wrote. “No major mobile OS incorporates an option for an opt-out signal. By contrast, most Internet browsers either include such an option or, if users choose, they can download a plug-in with the same functionality. To ensure the ongoing usability of mobile devices, it’s best if design questions are first addressed by developers, rather than by regulators. For this reason, I cannot sign this bill.”
Oh fuck off Newsom.
What a fucking weasly excuse. Fuck this dude.
It’d be great if the decision was made by developers, they’d probably implement it since they can benefit from it as well. It’s not the developers making these decisions though, it’s the companies who have a vested interest in selling your data that are.
I voted for this guy before and thought I’d continue to do so, but the crap he’s been pulling recently-ish has just confirmed for me he won’t ever get my vote again. What a jagoff.
Hopefully a better person wins the primary.
It’s not even opt-in wtf Gavin…

What are the chances the state legislature overrides the veto?
