Because how can Persona (and the government) know who is using Gentoo without an ID requirement? What is someone doesn't use javascript when browsing the internet?

Computer code is a form of speech. It is mind-boggling to me that California wants to assert its rules over all FOSS software.
If California is able to do this, what stops them from next requiring Arch to be bundled with ID-checking Persona as part of a mandatory GUI installation?
Maybe Arkansas wants a mandatory "governemnt module" in Fedora to allow easy remote access?
Perhaps Dubai would like ProxMox to ping Dubai's government so they can create an IP registry of ProxMox users?
And since so many developers use github, will github just ban developers who don't comply?
I understand that such a rule could undermine Project 2025's objectives, but it is still a slippery slope.
You mean the libre software that is all primarily stored on AWS, Azure, or Google infrastructure, especially github?
