    Its so ironic how roghts are erroded under the guise of child protection, while they protect pedophiles.

    puts decentralized social networks to the test

    No it doesn’t. Fucking ignore them. The fuck are they gonna do? Write you a strongly worded letter? It’s Mississippi, they’re not educated enough to even manage that.

        If you stay in Mississippi past the moment that you realize you live in Mississippi you get what you deserve. I’m surprised animals and insects are still willing to live there.

      What are they gonna do? Start fining the owners of the instances……

      Decentralised doesn’t mean “no one in charge” - it means lots of people in charge of lots of parts. The fediverse would be the easiest social media network to bend to the governments will because it’s not billion dollar companies running it, and just the threat of fines or a lawsuit will make any instance owner shit their pants.

        Not if the instance isn’t subject to their jurisdiction.

            no, I forgot all about you. but piefed warns users about shitty people. everywhere you go, no matter the instance, you carry a big warning next to your name that you can’t see and can never escape.

                  Alternatively, you can use an app like Voyager which has a getting feature.

                  It’s easy knowing not to bother engaging with someone who has “Asshole” next to their name in red.

              SHIT I need that, just looked through post history and he’s got a lot of ‘my body my choice’ answers to vaccines too.

                By “a lot” you literally mean one when responding to someone trying to “gotcha” me yesterday hahaha.

                Quick questions - do you think vaccines should be mandatory? What should the punishment be for not getting them? Which ones are mandatory?

                What other things with your body does the government get control of? Should the government be able to mandate abortions if, say, you already have 1 child and they want to implement a 1 child only policy?

        Immune, no, insanely hard to police? Hell yeah. The thing with these laws is that it’s pretty easy for MS to sue Reddit and force them to comply. They have one centralized location to complain to. You can’t just call John Lemmy and have him comply. Would it be impossible for a state government to contact every single instance owner? maybe? But they’re not going to do it. Even if they made an attempt the instances hosted in other countries couldn’t give less shits about some southern US state.

        Nostr is a whole other beast… it’s currently littered with things illegal in just about every country on the planet but that shit’s still there so I can’t imagine MS could do anything there either.

        TLDR: Immune, no. Neigh impossible to enforce, yes.

          They could very easily contact the owners of the Lemmy.world instance, for example, and there goes the biggest part of Lemmy.

          You act like that is hard for them to do. It’s not.

            If I remember right .world is hosted in Finland. Who likely doesn’t care about MS politics. They’d have to lobby the Finnish government, who, if they did capitulate would start an awful president. So they won’t as MS has 0 authority there. But, lets assume that they did, or that MS went to all of the ISPs and had them block .world. That’s thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, lawyers, and paperwork. And the .world users in MS just download their config files and move to .de, .ca, or .uk. And now MS gets to repeat the entire process at three more countries who couldn’t care less about their laws. The would waste unfathomable dollars and hours chasing this mouse and get nowhere. So they just won’t. It’s posturing for the big tech companies. Same as with porn. The big 3 or 4 will just block the state and move on, and the rest and those hosted in other countries will continue like nothing happened. The conservatives will claim they won ‘for the children’, nothing will really change.

              You act like the government doesn’t absolutely love wasting money on stupid shit like this lol. It’s their bread and butter.

              Also you’re overlooking, or are unaware of, things like GDPR and what other countries are doing in forcing foreign countries to apply their laws.

            you don’t know shit, which is why you’re so confident about it. the same reason 4chan isn’t worried about the age laws in the UK is the same reason Lemmy.world isn’t worried about what one counsin-fucking southern yeehaw backwater in the US says is illegal.

            mississippi can’t do shit to Lemmy.world, even if they threw billions into lawsuits. which they can’t, because since republicans can’t balance a budget to save their lives, mississippi can’t even afford to give the people who are forced to live there clean drinking water. but here you are, thinking the state that’s last in education, in the “first world” nation that’s last in education , is going to start going around the world and making them listen to what some racist white descendant of plantation owners thinks is moral. fucking hilarious. I live in the US myself, and I’m not even going to listen to this law for my instance.

              You might want to do some reading about things like GDPR :). You also need to do some reading on how governments cooperate with other foreign governments.

            I love you just assume other states or countries give a shit what some red state thinks. the vast majority of fedi instances are not in mississippi, and the fines are not criminal charges to begin with. even if they were, good luck getting a blue state to extradite over something stupid like this.

            missississpi made a law with no teeth, and fedi is going to ignore it like they should because there isn’t shit some backwards US state can do.

          I don’t think you understand how much 99.99% of people are going to absolute shit their pants when they get governments ordering them to block content or be fined and sent to jail, especially when their country’s government will likely cooperate with the foreign government ala GDPR/DSAR.
