  2025 is certainly a year. What kind of year it is depends on which country you live in.

  Sounds like the US is nuking theirs, which certainly makes a bang.

  I don’t really see how this ruling is helpful. The reasoning seems to confirm the view that the Fediverse is legally very problematic.

    How? I just read the full text of that website, and I couldn’t find any language in there that would harm the fediverse.

      Federation means that personal data is sent to anyone who spins up an instance. What legal basis is there for that? These guys and their lawyers weren’t able to figure one out.

        What is legally defined as personal data in this case? Public usernames, public posts, or private messages to another instance, which states clearly that messages aren’t private and to use Matrix instead? Or is there something else.
