If the Fediverse became more popular, wouldn't it fall under the law's "Age Verifications" rules too? (lemmy.world)

I've been thinking. Every mainstream social media is age verificated now. But sites such as SomethingAwful, 4chan and the Fediverse weren't. So why are we trying to populate it if the Fedi' was popular too, we would ALSO be verificated and spywared (made up this word for this post's sake)?

Then what's to stop them from making a law forbidding doxxing-law-abiding instances from federating with instances that don't force users to doxx themselves?

    Perhaps they could. I'm just not clever enough to know how you would draft the legislation or enforce the law -- how is a complaint instance supposed to identify a noncomplaint instance, short of checking everyone's id again?
