Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

The problem with that is that you quickly become responsible for EVERYONE, and then you wind up right back where we are with government bureaucrats telling parents how to raise their children.

If a law or rule can be used to harass otherwise good people, then it will be.

If you give some self-important bastard an inch, they’ll take a mile. Just look at the police.

Ok, so do you think it is better to not be responsible for nodoby ? Good, as long as you are prepared to pay the consequences of this, both at personal level and a social level.

Sadly true, but this do not means that we should not have laws.
