Is this legally binding?

Proposed and not final. Nothing here can be enforced against you yet.

Published 1 July 2026 in response to EO 14365 section 7. Its theory is the sharp end of preemption: a state law that requires altering truthful model outputs could itself put a company in breach of the FTC Act. Proposed and not final: do not treat it as settled.
