How could/would/should the Fediverse do age verification if required in the EU? (lemmy.world)

The question is prompted by the age verification app that the EU has just presented.

Some EU countries want to ban social media for young people. If that were to happen, what then?

I mean yeah you could never get to 100% enforcement, like with every other law. But it wouldn't be hard to have a huge impact against the big guys. Ignoring the law as one of those is not going to be smart. Unless you move your ops somewhere not impacted. But realistically it would be easier to just follow the law.

I mean I simply don't think they will bother regarding the many Linux variants.

Same reason they won't bother the Threadiverse. I doubt they even know what it is.

I agree. Although over time some of the things we don't expect to be impacted may be. I hope I'm wrong.
