      Probably, just provide your ID card to the same company that knows which porn sites you go to. Makes it much easier for Palantir to link your fetishes to your family’s accounts.

      Fediverse will likely be subject to all the same laws.

          The FBI seized a Mastodon instance once, there’s nothing stopping the Fediverse from being targeted.

      Has that happened because of the existing similar laws in Australia and other countries?

          It would be a desirable consequence. I remember when I was the age that politicians currently want to ban from “social media”, I was active on web forums where the majority or at least a significant minority of active users were also that age.

          But looking at current Internet users’ habits, especially those of the youngest ones, I’m not sure text-based communities are still interesting enough to them. Current Internet usage seems to mostly be about videos.
