Comment on So what are we going to do with all this social media age-gate stuff?

  This is a little bit different, because aussie.zone is hosted in Australia, run by, and primarily used by Australians. The European courts and GDPR people probably have bigger fish to fry than the 1 or 2 people that may or may not use our instance. The same is also true of our court system and these laws, but it’s still a little bit different in my view, as it would cost way less to prosecute our instance admins, than it would be for the European systems.

  Your argument is certainly applicable to other instances not run by people easily prosecuted here, but I don’t think it’s really that relevant. Considering the fines are up to ~49 million dollars, I certainly wouldn’t stake my money on just being deemed “too small to care about” if I were in their shows.

    Something to consider on that point is that there might be a spike in the userbase once the major players put in whatever irritating form of age verification the govt dreams up.
