California ghost-gun bill wants 3D printers to play cop, EFF says
Summary
The Register covers California AB 2047, which would require 3D printer manufacturers to implement state-certified firearm-detection algorithms and block prints. The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues the approach is technically infeasible, risks vast consumer surveillance, and could push users toward closed-source tooling, while proponents say it would reduce ghost guns. The piece cites quotes from EFF staff, industry voices, and related 3D printing policy debates.
