Fixated Units on Nostr: Interesting implications for Mastodon under the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media ...
Interesting implications for Mastodon under the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 and probably a great case study for how fucked up the legislation is.
● Is Mastodon a social media platform?
● Is each instance an individual social media platform?
● Can the minister prescribe Mastodon as an age-restricted social media
platform under the act or do they need to target each instance?
● How do you enforce age restrictions, identification and ensure data is collected and destroyed properly?
Try getting all that before a court and getting a reasonable decision out of it without spending a billion dollars on silks, if you can find the dozen or so required who understand any of it.
