@ins0mniak @gatewaypundit_official All it takes is to host content from within the EU and be big enough to fulfill the requirements around DSA and the other act nobody remembers the name of. Or if the company is a gatekeeper, the company is forced to moderate content even when operating completely outside of the EU.

They can basically force social media companies to split their "network" in half and block the "bad" content only in EU. Same thing with their required independent fact checkers and requirements to remove content when ordered by law enforcement within 24 hours with huge fines when breaking those rules.

This kind of stupidity is the sole reason why I don't host any user created content, including FluffyTail, in the EU. There's some kind of requirement in the DSA based on number of users with a vague definition when it comes to federated networks. And arguing with law enforcement that I in fact don't host thousands of users only because some random post from Poast and adjacent got their attention isn't my thing. The likelihood is very small, but I don't like taking unnecessary chances.
