@bastetfurry@mastodon.social @girlonthenet@mastodon.social the law is shit, but countries with reciprocal extradition agreements in place will do so if an equivalent law is on the books in both countries. "equivalent" here has a very loose definition and isn't worth arguing about if you're not a lawyer who argues it. the online safety act creates personal liability for the officers of a company that isn't compliant, and so this breaks things like using a limited company to act as a shield.
the most trivial way to de-risk all this bullshit is to geoblock the UK... I say that as a UK user who will be inconvenienced by a geoblockade and yet find it the only reasonable reaction that those who run services throughout the US and Europe should take... as those are the countries with the most reciprocal agreements with the UK,
it is all crap, but since we're at the point of "this is the law, now we're moving to how to enforce"... just block the UK and be done with it.
