What is the SCOPE Act? New law expected to take effect Sunday aims to add extra layer of protection to kids online

The new SCOPE Act takes effect this Sunday, adding protections for kids online through age verification and stricter marketplace regulations but one non-profit is challenging it. Will a judge block it? #OnlineSafety #ConsumerProtection #SCOPEAct

“The SCOPE Act takes effect this Sunday, Sept. 1, and will require everyone to verify their age for social media.”

So how does this work with Lemmy? Is anyone in Texas just banned, is there some sort of third party ID service lined up…for every instance, lol.

But seriously, how does Lemmy (or the fediverse as a whole) comply? Is there some way it just doesn’t need to?

    That didn’t work with porn, so it’s not a good idea for less popular websites.

        Enough that there’s a serious spike in VPN sales during the porn age restriction wave.

        I doubt NordVPN and friends would see that if EVERY single lemmy instance got banned.
