What you call, leading by example!

This is what the EU should adopt.

@jeppe @randahl federating with the likes of Facebook and twitter was always a losing proposition for mastodonians. Abusors abuse, and pretending the trade off for content was worth it was always crass and easily seen through. FOMO kills community, uncompromising prinicipal nurtures community. Needy attention seekers shouldn't be running the show, folks.

@randahl this is dangerous rhetoric from someone who doesn't appear to understand the implications.

Banning young people from social media isolates them from those that might support them while handing your citizen's biometric data to foreign 3rd-parties for "verification" only creates a target for surveillance and identity theft.

I get he's coming from the right place, but he's talking like an MPAA lawyer, pear-clutching "for the children".

FINALLY some accountability for these monsters.

aapis@mastodon.world

@randahl yes please and thank you

@jeppe @ecomba @randahl sounds fair to me that an instance moderator has to comply with reasonable accountability laws for infrastructure that shapes society at large

@ecomba @jeppe @randahl while I agree some things will get harder, I think part of the entire point of Mastodon and many other federated servers is that the content is not boosted algorithmically, but by users.

is best to have strong moderation, but unless the law is very sloppily written (a possibility, of course) I don't think it applies at all.

meanwhile hosting and boosting illegal content already has applicable laws (hence the adjective "illegal")

These are just comical, meaningless words, no? International law forbids this. We'll send emails to spam and letters to the shredder. Zero F given. Problem solved.

This really should be Europe wide thing.
It's way past due.

@randahl unfortunately he will be in the list of new axis of evil made up by the Broligarchy... Come next election hope he id prepared to fight them as well as his opposition.

Mastodon is, to my understanding, a protocol - not a platform. Think of it as http vs websites.

As for instances, many don't have executives i suspect.

Of course the law isn't written yet, so let's hope it's written well.

Indeed. It is too early to come up with a definitive answer. Regarding Mastodon, I assumed that the previous posts meant it as a platform. And I did not want to be nit-picky in general Mastodon is one kind of instances - there are other kinds, e.g. Pixelfed - that all form together the Fediverse. A federated platform (?) using where most instances use ActivityHub to communicate.
