@mastodonmigration @mackuba as mentioned, there's nothing stopping regulators or prosecutors from going after mastodon or other activitypub software for non-compliance. It's probably quite easy too given most servers are hosted in Germany, a country with one of the oldest age verification laws on the books and a right wing politician with a fetish for regulation enforcing it. Seriously, this guy had an entire AI bot built to help prosecute adults in Germany who posted material against his laws
@thisismissem @mastodonmigration @mackuba most servers aren't hosted in Germany. This says 15.6% are: https://fedi.wrm.sr/

@ikuturso @mastodonmigration @mackuba I'm pretty sure deeper research showed that many instances that looked US based were actually using CDNs in front and hitting US based POPs

@ikuturso @mastodonmigration @mackuba for instance, Hachyderm has US based POPs but core infrastructure is all in Germany

@thisismissem @mastodonmigration @mackuba I'm sure that is true to some extent but I also don't think all or even most of the US share is very likely to be in Germany.
If I had to guess a significant chunk (even most) is probably actually in the US and the rest likely more or less divided in similar shares as the overall numbers are among the other countries.

@ikuturso @mastodonmigration @mackuba if you're EU based doing a query from here to each server to determine ASNs might be an interesting research project, maybe you'll get different results?
