We Can Still Stop California’s 3D Printer Surveillance Scheme
Summary
The EFF Deeplinks post argues that California AB 2047’s plan to mandate censorware on 3D printers poses privacy and free-expression risks, and that amendments do not adequately protect users or open-source innovation. It contends the bill’s effectiveness is dubious, shifts responsibility to manufacturers, and creates a chilling effect for creators, including small businesses and individuals. The piece urges readers to contact their senators to oppose the bill and defend creator tools and privacy.
