I have combined my initial thoughts on the EU KIDS Act proposal into one blogpost:

What a mess.

I imagine that some fedi service providers will want to track this carefully or, better still, lobby to see what can be done about it...

@neil does “by means of an account” implicitly mean “an account with that service”. If so my instance is fine as there is only one account and I am over 18 (I counted the birthdays). Ie it only impacts the other fedi instances that have accounts that might by minors?

Obviously, if you are a minor, and it is past your bedtime, do not read this.

Or do. It might help you sleep.

Certainly safer for them here than it is on any of the algo sites.

Which is part of why it absolutely horrifies me that the EC is trying to shut this place down while letting the algo sites do business as usual.

They're not trying to protect children. They're trying to harm children. And everyone else.
