@ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox well, if it gets implemented, it's gonna be limited to their own servers. thank god for decentralization. there's that, at least... i'm not liking this new future we find ourselves in.

@ariarhythmic My guess is that this will depend on your admin to enable? Probably won't affect smaller servers, but I am not a lawyer. Either way, I think it's good that the Mastodon team is looking into all the legal requirements around this, and other relevant laws, rather than leaving each individual server admin to figure this out on their own.

@ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox the problem isn't mastodon it's your govt if mastodon servers don't implement age verification in those jurisdictions that make it law, those servers get shut down by that govt so you're blaming the wrong entity are you really asking servers to face legal punishment and then get shut down anyway? don't get me wrong: be angry *at your govt* not mastodon
