4chan are fighting it and they reckon they’re going to deal with 4chan in the next wave of restrictions. I’m bringing popcorn

I bet they are left 4chan alone knowing they’d be the first to not comply and poke holes in this ban

4chan doesn’t require user accounts, the law only applies to platforms where you need user accounts

That’s fine, but it’s an obvious technicality isn’t it?
“Oh your side has outrageous content that could harm children? Oh, it’s okay. You don’t have user accounts. Carry on.”

Proof it’s not about “protecting children” when the most child unfriendly sites are not impacted
Skavau@piefed.social 10 months ago
What that means technically is that the Fediverse could just allow non-account posting whilst verifying everyone who makes accounts. What a laughable law. At least in the UK, they didn’t allow such a loophole even if we can’t do anything to 4chan.

i agree, but i also think that IF this were something conducted in good faith (it’s not), then the process would be pretty similar: gated access is the easy fix, so you work that out first (like a minimum viable product), and then work on the harder parts later
