    Well the devil is in the detail. However, what appears is being mooted is it will only affect big social media corporations. A Lemmy instance is hardly big business. Not that I’m discounting creeping regulation moving into the fediverse.

      It’s impossible to specifically target Facebook and Snapchat without also affecting Lemmy and YouTube comments.

      They’re all social media with minor UI differences.

        It really isn’t, you just go the way the recent EU laws have gone and write them such that only large services (with over x million users or similar) are under obligation to comply and implement age gates and the like.
