  1. 2026-08-09 / HACKER NEWSIllinois Signs HB5511 — Every OS, Device Maker, and App Store Must Broadcast a Child's Age Bracket via API by 2028Governor JB Pritzker signed the Children's Online Social Media Safety Act, which treats device makers, operating system providers, and app stores as one class of 'covered manufacturers.' By January 1, 2028 they must collect a birth date at account setup and expose it as one of four brackets — under 13, 13–15, 16–17, 18+ — through an API that apps query on download or launch, with all signals encrypted. Apps have until July 1, 2028 to start requesting the signal; the Attorney General can fine up to $50,000 per violation. The HN thread (110 points, 94 comments) focused on what this means for Linux distributions and self-built OSes that have no account-setup flow.
