Interesting, but a couple of points.
1 - I just did a very, very quick search and found the introduction of the bill, however didn’t find that it’s fully passed, but, again, just did a cursory search.
2 - Regardless would only apply in the US (obviously) and not elseware. Cell phone market is huge outside the US.
3 - Even if law now, speaking only for myself, I would have no problem(s) challenging that if I were “caught” with a silent cp camera shutter. Courts have long upheld that it’s not illegal to photograph complete strangers in public, even without their knowledge. Street photographers do that constantly and display said photographs.
