    Bluesky’s position of “oh no we might get sued for violating this law so let’s make sure they have no grounds to sue us” is exactly what “complying in advance” means.

    The appropriate response from any social media org that cares about free speech is “fuck your unconstitutional law, our servers are not in your jurisdiction, you have no authority over me, so if you want some fucking bring it”.

    Lemmy has plenty of porn, but I don’t see Lemmy.world in a frenzy to impose age verification the instant some shitass third world state decides to limit Internet access, do you?
