Depends on whether the law has a threshold of users or revenue. This is useful as the authorities don't have to mess around with minor players and concentrate on the real offenders.
His sign off remark might suggest just that.
Most Fediverse instances' rules exclude illegal content. It that is enforced with decent moderation then there should be no risk. This proposed law is targeted at no or poorly moderated servers.

@randahl "Algorithmic manipulation", ooooh, I like how they are thinking, that term should be on everybody's tongue!
-
You probably don't know much about what goes on in small instances.
They are very aware of the need to moderate. This is not a threat to them in any way.
But we can hope it's a threat to mastodon dot social, because maybe then they will start carrying their own weight.
-
@randahl What will that do to Mastodon? What about smaller or larger, or personal instances that federate?
@jeppe this will depend on how the law defines "algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content" - but as mastodon doesn't have a content algorithm (unless you consider chronological listing an algorithm) I don't think this law will apply when an instance just shows illegal content that was posted on another instance. @randahl

@randahl Just take the opportunity to repeal Article 6 of the Copyright Directive and make it illegal for providers to block users from using a service that extracts your feed from Facebook or X and show you only what you actually want to see.

@randahl This is beyond brilliant. Maybe the start of backlash at often indulgently reckless natures of the powerful who have a chilling indifference towards those they adversely affect.

@randahl@mastodon.social
I want to have this for the entiere EU. -
@jeppe @ecomba @randahl @androcat the effect will be small. Based on the news (there is no law right now), using algorithms to spread hate, will be illegal. Mastodon does not use such "algorithms" to push engagement. So here we would be fine. The other part is content moderation. We need to get better at that. Many smaller instances are better at that. Still we need maybe new ways to improve that. However, everyone can limit hate, by not boosting it. Thus, we are part of the solution.

@randahl This does not bode well for social media in general and the big platforms (Xitter, Meta, TikTok) in particular.
At least when it comes to a Spanish legal perspective...@grumpydad

Sánchez stated that close coordination with Rabat has “very significantly” reduced irregular arrivals on Spanish territory. He identified Morocco as an essential strategic partner in regional migration management, attributing migration flow control to joint engagement and coordination with origin and transit countries. -

And by reporting it.
And by muting or defederating from instances that won't listen.
There's a whole bunch of things that can be done.But there are for sure small instances that are poorly moderated (for instance because the admin is a harasser) and these should in fact just be tossed out (defederated).

@milesizdead yeah, it is sad that politicians all over the world are morally panicking and banning social media from teen instead of keeping companies accountable for the problem like bad moderation etc. @randahl

️ Wonderful ideas, hopefully they will be finalized in all of EU! -
@jeppe @randahl I don’t acuse you of anything, nor did I imply. I was talking in a general sense. The federated nature of the fedi makes it a little muddier, that is very true. I still believe it’s a great move though. Some things will get harder, but as the saying goes, doing the right thing is more often than not harder.

@randahl Yes! About time the shit platforms were held liable for content, like a publisher.
