The choice of whether to tell a customer if they are interacting with a human or a bot is no more a choice in California. Not something many companies would appreciate, I'd imagine. https://t.co/RnfeNtGMRy pic.twitter.com/n1GeyRyA6l
California has passes law stating that any bot used to influence a voter or sell a product must identify itself as a bot. This is well meaning but unworkable. How do you define a bot?

I'm happy to see a new bot law pass in California. It requires all bots to identify themselves as bots when commenting or messaging people.

I struggle to understand: what has the requirement that #bots reveal their artifical identity got to do with #FreeSpeech? Am I misreading something here? #botlaw #California ht @bronwynwilliams #AI #Facebook #tech https://t.co/xMkVChU0z6
