Dislikes
This provision is overly broad, applying to virtually any software that provides an interactive or personalized experience—which includes most modern applications and websites. By imposing a generalized duty of care without clear limits or definitions, it creates uncertainty and exposes a wide range of ordinary businesses to potential liability far beyond the bill’s apparent intent.
No public reasoning provided.
