Mastodon is, to my understanding, a protocol - not a platform. Think of it as http vs websites.

As for instances, many don't have executives i suspect.

Of course the law isn't written yet, so let's hope it's written well.

Indeed. It is too early to come up with a definitive answer. Regarding Mastodon, I assumed that the previous posts meant it as a platform. And I did not want to be nit-picky in general Mastodon is one kind of instances - there are other kinds, e.g. Pixelfed - that all form together the Fediverse. A federated platform (?) using where most instances use ActivityHub to communicate.

@Randahl Fink Excellent! Let's hope Brussels pays attention and copies this idea 👍

I hope that they don’t try to break the general rule of “notice and take down”

That “rule” protects hosters, sites with community content, etc

In short: the site/instance/server/etc owner has no liability for what the users put on it.
UNTIL they get notified on it.

And it doesn't only punish the teens

"These restrictive mandates strike at the foundation of the free and open internet. They are tools of censorship [which] burden the expressive rights of adults and young people alike"

@xs4me2

Its not made so clear in the original post, but Sanchez plans to introduce age gating, and the E.U. definitely does not need more censorship, exclusion, identity theft, and handing over citizen's personal I.D.s and biometric data to foreign big tech companies! Spain is actually setting a very poor example here. But with countries like France and Denmark already doing the same, there is the danger the E.U. will move in this direction!
