Buried in New York State's proposed budget is an ill-conceived measure to stifle 3D printing with surveillance and censorware. We need to act now to defend creators and demand legislators to drop these provisions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing #newyork #3dprinting

Stop New York's Attack on 3D Printing
New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget currently includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This policy would also create felony charges for possessing or sharing certain design files. The vote on the state budget could happen as early as next week, so New Yorkers need to act fast and demand that their Assemblymembers and Senators strip this provision from the budget.

@eff Is this being pushed by AI companies trying to make sure there's something out there that "requires" AI to even pretend to accomplish?
AI is going to get it wrong, but there's really no other way that anyone is even going to come up with anything at all that even tries to address these stupid laws, like WA already passed.
@eff
Yes. It's a bad thing and must be stopped. But also… even if that were ever enacted, how would it be enforced?
@eff This will completely kills STEM forever! Not to mention it violates HIPPA if ever printing for medical implants, or any kind of medical devices for any purpose. Remember those folks who 3D printed masks during covid?! That will never be possible ever again with laws like this!!
