Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.
But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

There is no law forcing Nvidia to require accounts to download drivers. I literally just downloaded Nvidia drivers a few days ago without needing an account.
It may not be a law, but when NVidia has numerous contracts with the federal government, and the feds ask NVidia to do them a favor…Well, NVidia does it. That assumes they didn’t secretly order NVidia to do so via some obscure provision in a national security law.
It most likely depends on the country you’re in. Some countries are already adopting such laws. Not much different than the age verification thing some countries are doing, total invasion of privacy, to appease the powers in charge.
