So what makes kid users on linux so special that they don't need nanny state protection? Are the Californian legislators just throwing them to the wolves? Or are the protections being put in place here not actually important?

Seriously, what is the message here supposed to be about the kids using linux? And why are they so different from kids using Windows or Mac? Are there other safety features we can exempt kid linux users from?

The comment you're replying to is saying that it's not actually about protecting kids, but rather controlling large businesses.

There is no corporation that spies on the user at the OS level.

There is a sysadmin (likely the parent), whose responsibility is that already.
