MODERATORS
The act is online now. Lemmy is clearly defined as social media under Section 13a of the act.
Of course, I have no idea how we'll comply with the act - there's obviously no existing field or provision in the Lemmy Code to enter a private identifier as a user to confirm your age. We have a year to figure that out.
It's also hilarious to imagine international instances complying. Imagine the scenario: Kyrgyzstan has passed a law that states that all its users must provide an ID to use aussie.zone. Are we going to comply with this law? How many of our users are Kyrgyz? That's what this law appears to call for - asking our friends at lemmy.world (who are hosted in Finland) to comply with an Australian law because some of their users are Australian.
Called it. Good luck with that. I'll be turning on a VPN when this comes into effect, or I'll be jumping ship to that New Zealand instance. The Finnish are nice, but there's too many yanks on LW and those general purpose instances. Though I'd consider that anarchist instance
@Nath lemmy.world need to buck their ideas up
