How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia? (lemmy.ca)

Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law?

If servers of someinstance.co.au fine if they move to hosting in Finland?

It just feels like a nightmare.

the interaction that is done in Australia is not part of the business chain.

Then it’s not subject to our laws, which is why an Australian walking up to an Italian vendor in Italy is a bad analogy…no interaction is done in Australia. It doesn’t matter if it’s an Australian buying something in Italy, our laws don’t apply to your original analogy.

As for your last paragraph I agree and that’s probably one area where it will fail.
