In the article, &quot;Senate Bill 5376&quot; hyperlink, opens a short 6 pages PDF entitled &quot;Senate Bill report&quot; that has a summary of the proposed law on page 3 and 4,<p>The threshold of 100,000 users is interesting, since it&#x27;s probably to protect startups from too heavy regulation, but not clear if that is 100k DAU or just 100k registered users.<p>I wonder if other US states have similar laws already, and if they don&#x27;t, would WA state put itself at risk of seeing fewer startups&#x2F;small online businesses grow due to burden of regulation and the potential fines?
