It would be a desirable consequence. I remember when I was the age that politicians currently want to ban from “social media”, I was active on web forums where the majority or at least a significant minority of active users were also that age.
But looking at current Internet users’ habits, especially those of the youngest ones, I’m not sure text-based communities are still interesting enough to them. Current Internet usage seems to mostly be about videos.
Welp, looks like the fediverse is gonna see an influx of young people
Fediverse will likely be subject to all the same laws.
Good luck trying to enforce it
The FBI seized a Mastodon instance once, there’s nothing stopping the Fediverse from being targeted.
Has that happened because of the existing similar laws in Australia and other countries?
Idk to be honest.

Ahh yes, short form videos are the new trend
