I really dislike this sort of daddy over reach but it seems like this is the only way to make corpos get real about enforcement.
This would result needing to provide ID to use normie social media?
How would this even work globally and on places like fediverse tho?
it wouldn't work. I'm betting 100$ right now that nothing will come of this law it's purely populist virtue signaling.
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.
Not so sure that it can't be tailored to big businesses. Regulations carve out exceptions all the time based on employee count, annual turnover, customer count (hits), etc
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.
You can if you specify plataforms that sell ads.
