We are getting there.

Nevertheless, I will keep my expectation in check, as to see if companies will keep up will the spirit of the law and/or the state will be serious in enforcement it.

I have a feeling they’ll find a way to make it only applicable in that state. Sometime a special resialization deactivation upon request after proof of residency in Oregon with multiple steps to go through and need to re-activate periodically or something so annoying it won’t be worth it or realistically usable.

Yeah, kinda like Apple allowing alternative browsers on their platform… but only in the EU.
