"#Mississippi just passed a law demanding online age verification, and the decentralized web is colliding with the surveillance state. #Bluesky already pulled out of the state. #Mastodon refuses. The nonprofit behind the software says it literally can’t comply: no technical ability to verify ages, no interest in tracking IPs, no central control over its network. Each Mastodon server is independent. Admins can set rules, even bolt on third-party verification if they want, but Mastodon itself won’t collect data or enforce law. That’s the point." #privacy #censorship #fascism #corrupt #corruption https://archive.is/nP91Y https://archive.is/fn9BT https://archive.is/4EOqB
