Are instances of fediverse platforms going to be affected by this law? Does it apply at all to the fediverse?

  • No. The act would only apply to “digital news intermediaries that occupy a prominent market position”. Unless an instance starts pulling in millions of dollars, the act wouldn’t apply.

      From what I’ve heard they’re going to keep a list of big platforms that count. Nobody is going to put a little Lemmy instance on there unless the law is being deliberately misused.

      That’s sounds vague, if that ao I bet there will be a lot of lobbying from people that don’t want to be considered “prominent”
