Seriously. It's like there is zero political will to meaningfully regulate companies, so politicians think that performative labeling is some kind of half way compromise. I wouldn't be surprised if this NY law is similarly broken to the CA one where the government doesn't even take a stand as to what is considered harmful, just leaving it up to the corpos to choose - for which they will just maximally plaster the label on everything because "fuck you".
