    @Baku @Nath Oh. So even if I set some things up in Singapore (closest with decent latency I think) then I, being resident here, can still be punished for not requiring age verification on it? That seems helluva over-reach.
    Mind you, whole concept is an over-reach.

        I’m guessing that, like GDPR in the EU, it will apply to any and all social media website on the internet, but for practical reasons, can’t really be enforced outside of the legislating authorities’ jurisdiction.

        The legislation specifically gives the Act extra-territorial powers to enforce the ban against foreign websites.

        Reddit is specifically targetted ; it will definitely include Lemmy.
