It doesn't have to be written law passed by a government for something to be "legally required".

Just like the government doesn't have to pass laws or implement systems for surveillance when they can just rely on FANG to do all the data collection for them.

People who believe that smartphones are "legally required" in the US certainly do have a firm grip on "reality".

Am I doing this double quote thing right?
