As for the law "catching up with" federation sites, I don't see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.

Forgot that's how America worked.

In the UK, you could just keep making noise until a member of parliament gets interested and mentions it once

So how does UK law handle federation?

No clue. Online Safety Act is a bin fire

Maybe you should make some noise until an MP cleans up the issue.

I'm too lazy. My MP made a bluesky account but abandoned it. Sad!

OSA means the instances that are federated are required to remove it, but also because they failed to remove it and/or failed to regulate ages and the day of the week and feed the cat they are guilty
