That's a great question - I imagine they would want "their say" in the matter - so certainly would not surprise me.

But that's something I'll need to look into - as I'm also curious.

I do know #System76 (centered in Colorado) spoke to a co-author of the Colorado #AgeVerification bill, w/hopes of getting open source software exempted (unsure if happening).

Another good article on Meta lobbying for it in Android / Apple:

Apparently, Meta helped lobbying efforts, age verification into operating systems through an entity called "Digital Childhood Alliance":

Essentially, can act to transfer some liability, from social media platforms, into operating systems (even volunteer based developers forced to work for free)

Hence requiring 'age signaling' to app requirement on operating systems.
