  Those hosting the more popular environments. The posts would live on perhaps but target enough people and it likely becomes too small for them to care anymore, sadly.

    All the more reason to host anonymously.

    Push to decentralize, that is to push users from more popular instances to less popular ones, would be good then I guess.

    Yeah, considering it is not impossible to geoblock per instance, they could.

  I think the instance owner would be responsible, but what if the instance is out of the state?

  Unless the instance owner is on a visa, with a criminal record they could get him. But otherwise it’s hard to be enforced.

  Maybe they could ask the app stores to ban apps in that states. Something like that.
