The proposed @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu ban on social media is published and as expected has zero concept of federated, self-hosted software but expressly places the smallest deployer in scope. A quick scan implies they want to kill off #SelfHosting with unreasonable burdens and disproportionate penalties. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/proposal-eu-kids-act-eu-keeping-internet-digital-spaces-accountable-and-trustworthy At least it has an direct exception for #OpenSource software development - seems having the @osi@social.opensource.org @policy@social.opensource.org team deployed in Brussels has made a difference. Thanks to the drafter!
