They ask for it to store a date today, ask for IDs the next. Heck they already want 3d printers to somehow identify if they’re printing parts that can be used in guns, but 3d printers don’t have that kind of computing power nor should they need that so odds are most companies will require an internet connection and upload to a central server to be analyzed. And thus privacy goes away unintentionally.
It’s just a stupid “slippery slope” fear mongering. “Then Linux will require a child sacrifice to even boot and will not connect to the internet unless you recite the entire Pledge of Allegiance”.

Who? How?

In order to comply with the specific Californian law. It’s referenced in the PR. If you could read (to quote your meme) you’d be very upset.
