Texas will require parental consent for kids to use social media by minode in c/technology@beehaw.org

What would possibly be the consequences for either parent or child if they violate?

If the law designed is any good, there should be none. The responsibility to check whether the parent has agreed should be laid on the social media giants, not the child or the parent. It should be a tool for parents to control the social media consumption of their kids. And after reading the article, which I highly recommend, it seems to be the case:

The broad law comes with heavy burdens for online platforms. It requires basically any digital services provider that collects an email at sign-up to conduct age verification to identify all minors, verify parents or guardians connected to all minors identified, and secure parental consent for a wide range of account activity.

Please read the articles that you post. Asking follow-up questions that are already answered is a little stupid.

From the video's description:

I was quietly working in my hotel room on my computer. I heard someone knock at the door. I looked through the peephole and did not recognize the man and woman that were standing outside. I did not respond to the knock, and returned to work on my computer. I then heard a strange metallic sound against the door. When I looked over, I saw a metal tool being inserted under the door. I called down to the hotel lobby and told them someone was trying to get into my hotel room. I returned to the door and prevented the tool from moving over to the door handle and opening it from the inside. Hotel staff arrived and told a couple they were at the wrong door. The couple claimed that they accidentally had the wrong room. My hotel room was at the end of the hallway, allowing the couple time to hide the tool. The couple quickly walked away and hotel staff knocked on my door. I opened it and showed him the video. They then quickly ran after the couple, but they were unable to catch up with them.

What's the benefit of doing this apart from a technical challenge and fun? Such a server wouldn't support the network in any way, right?

Hi everyone,

I've been wondering about legal implications of self-hosting Lemmy. Isn't it universally required in many countries to moderate the content that you host publicly? What happens when someone posts something illegal on your instance and you don't won't to bother with being a mod and just enjoy the technical aspects of it?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
