What gets mandated in NY gets sold everywhere. A surveillance requirement for 3D printers, buried in NY’s budget bill, will be detrimental to innovation everywhere. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing
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.

Thank you, Electronic Frontier Foundation, for putting light on this nonsense (blocking 3d printers from making "forbidden designs").
I share concerns about wackos' fascination with printed guns, but there have to be better (less risky, less expansive, more effective) ways to restrict ghost guns.
If they want to make a law that will achieve some good for society, how about a law against "omnibus bills" (sneaking legislators' irrelevant pet projects into big bills such as budgets)?
