What about:

- servers living in datacenters

- realtime operating systems in embedded devices

- the Intel Management Engine

- the OS on every smart chip in credit cards and debit cards

- wireless cameras, roombas, smart TVs, smart fridges

- cars. Those automotive systems have OSes too right?

- all those IoT devices, including California’s traffic cameras

What age signals should those devices send out? Is there an exclusionary clause?

The law is targetting consumer operating systems, not linux servers/iot devices.

[mistercheph]

Does the law state that? What if children find out about the exception and start installing Alpine Linux to circumvent the law?

[kogasa240p]

They will be "exempt" probably.

You assume far too much competence.
