▲ 92 ▼ How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia? (lemmy.ca) submitted 9 months ago by n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 56 comments fedilink hide all child comments Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law? If servers of someinstance.co.au fine if they move to hosting in Finland? It just feels like a nightmare.
