Looking forward to watching Facebook claim it's all a business interaction because they're selling the user data or something. Also surely this includes any and all online forums.
Well there's Marketplace which is quite popular, so maybe they can contort themselves to make that argument.
@spiffmeister @Joker I'm interested in how they'll handle iMessage. And if they allow iMessage, why not Signal? And so on. Gonna be some interesting lines have to be drawn.
It then law is written loosely enough they may just try to apply it however is politically convenient at the time. Don't like people using signal? Guess signal is social media lmao.
That's not to say the original intent is to harass software they don't like, but a law written ambiguously can be used for other things if desired.
@spiffmeister Sounds like I'll be using BHPMail, MinResX and Riosky
I they're going to need Mr. Squiggle to make those lines look like something coherent.
