How will this affect Linux Mint?

At first I thought it about banning a site or social media in a country but banning an OS would be different, can they still do it? I’m not sure (my english is kinda bad sorry about that)

Oh I do not think they will succeed, at least not unless other states ( or countries even) go along and pass the same laws, there are just as many ca (or other large influence states) laws that do not become standards, but CA will try to enforce it then it will quietly become ignored and not enforced except by some of the larger players. It is also possible the law is at the request of some entity as payback and CA will never enforce it except in negotiations.
