And this is why, kids, we should use decentralised social media which can't be coerced to comply with information controls.
There just shouldn't be a central point of failure which can be blackmailed to do the government's bidding.
With #Mastodon, even if Mastodon gGmbH is put in line, there's no way to enforce the ruling on thousands of private instances. So:
- either the government quietly forgets this decision,
- or they institute a full-blown internet censorship with Deep Packet Inspection and stuff.
The former is more likely because Mastodon isn't that important, but I wish it were the dilemma any such lawmakers faced.
And, anyway, Mastodon doesn't have many of the issues that made that bill even conceivable. #Bluesky will be more interesting to watch, because it's much more like the old #Twitter. So we'll see:
- whether or not it complies;
- how decentralised it actually is, i.e., whether the devs even have the power to comply (which they shouldn't have).
Also, seriously, this story gives me Mother Russia vibes: ~one week to pass the bill, two readings in one day, maximally vague formulations that give power of interpretation to bureaucrats and law enforcement, and, of course, it introduces information controls to protect children.
