This is insane. The text of the bill states, "This bill would require a smartphone that is manufactured on or after January 1, 2017, and sold in California, to be capable of being decrypted and unlocked by its manufacturer or its operating system provider. The bill would subject a manufacturer or operating system provider that knowingly failed to comply with that requirement to a civil penalty of $2,500 for each smartphone sold or leased."

I hope California tears this up and elects 52 more Ted Lieu's. I also think anyone who contributed to writing this bill should have their iPhones revoked, bank accounts and credit cards cancelled, and the right to use the internet stripped, because they clearly do not understand how any of our technology works.
