@rick @benpate Nothing stops a government from mandating it. After it is implemented, a government at any time can decide to ban hosting/usage of fedi instances (social media in general) without some automated scanning. After there is one or more approved services supporting it, they can fully mandate it and point to the Mastodon implementation as a requirement and reference implementation.

They can, and I'm sure they want to and will try very hard. But there are a number of major problems which will emerge and will carry the whole project directly to hell.

1. There's a lot of countries out there, anyone can join any instance that's based anywhere. Smart countries will not enforce rules because they'd prefer to collect sigint, dumb countries will push all of their instances away...

2. Once you create a mechanism for censorship, everyone starts piling on to try to get Their Special Thing censored. If it's Germany, they're gonna have Israel breathing down their neck to add "Free Palestine" to the CSAM filter. This is going to create nuclear levels of butthurt in the canceldon/fediblock extreme left zone.

tl;dr invest in popcorn

It's my experience that canceldon people are the type to cite the law chapter and verse to anybody they don't like, but say ACAB the moment there's a law they don't want to be compliant with.

Ultimately they'll skate because they're all relatively small sites. Maybe a dozen hueg instances will get enforcement action but they aren't gonna chase down every 10 user "uwu tee hee kill people I disagree with" glitchsoc server

No they'll send the email to the wrong instance after your dumb post about Charlie Kirk or ICE agents federates to them. Bluesky users have recently been getting clapped or subponead after the extreme amount of fedposting that goes on there and that site is notoriously moderation lax.
