This has me wondering what's going to happen to platforms like this. How would age verification even work here? Would it work?

It wouldn't, and that's part of the point. Turn the internet into techbro mecca.

Yes this legislation would kill all the smaller sites on the internet, and that's exactly the point. They wouldn't be able to support the overhead for it so they'd all have to host on the big players.

It would kill the internet as we know it.

You're right. It wouldn't. So what happens when enforcement begins?

Server relocation?

How's that work?

This is my concern.

They'll just call it a terrorist enclave or a pedo ring and it's small enough that it can be disappeared.
