From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's a real good case for the application website not storing it (which is in the CA law)
What about the websites that will store it anyway, despite it being illegal? And what about if the laws change?
What if they write a new law that says your computer must kill your nan and sleep with your mam? what if? What if? What if?
But actually I have a real answer to that question! In that scenario, I would... use a distro like Artix that chooses not to comply with that law 🤘
By all of your responses so far, I assume you would just be okay with computer and OS manufacturs obeying?
