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.

I think it worth sitting it out with the USfor another three years. There are still people there who understand the benefits of allies.
Exerting restraint on this administration has to be done subtlety and is mitigating the lunacy as so many TACOs suggest. It's messy but we have to hope that it will pass with this administration.
No guarantees but we know China. It's lethal as a trusted partner as we found in Hong Kong. There would be no going back.

Rejoining the EU will be a long and tortuous trail for the UK no matter it's what people want. More iinteresting, easier and faster is to expand the EEA (countries sharing the EU single market but not members). Drop the first E so we could include Canada, Australia and anybody else who thinks this the best way to protect themselves.
The EU would have to concede some control of the SM but it return we get something with clout so we all benefit.

I agree and all of us could add a 100 more democratic failures without breaking sweat.
But, imho, Democracy had one redeeming feature. The ability to change government without a civil war - or worse. Also to correct, in time, the worst faults.
'Had' because it failed in Germany in 1933 and we have to wait and see if it failed America in 2020. The fault is if you elect fascists you get fascism.
Democratic Fascism is an oxymoron.

Yes but they have more F-35s than you. Somebody thinks that game, set and match. Or whatever the golfing equivalent is.
Without the US there is no NATO. Kill switches on US supplied weapons means we have little defence. European countries are totally exposed.
Closedown by US owned clouds would make government systems dysfunctional. Mass unemployment as a result of tariffs empowers the fascist right.
Major or terminal?
I was pointing to the fact that international law is irrelevant if you now expect the USA to respect it.
This is now a case of what we believe in. Is it comfort for us or the right of self-determination for others?
That's a hard and expensive question to answer. I hope we stand by that and elements within GOP recognise it too and reign in their President. I don't want to think about the alternative.
Plus any law is only as good as the ability to enforce it.
That's a real problem in a world where every superpower now defies it and punishes those that try.
Problem is that if respect for International Law shrinks to the EU and a few outliers - it isn't very international.
