Any idea how this new law will affect instance operators?

I don't think a hobbyist-hosted instance would count as a social media company.
Also, what's Louisiana gonna do if the instance is outside their state? Send them strongly-worded emails?
That's what I'm wondering, how would they enforce these rules for any instance that isn't based in their state?
@colonial@lemmy.world
Just like Facebook isn't in any one state.. You could fine the instance owner.. Eventually leading to a warrant for non compliance and failure to pay which means you are bared from entering the state of you don't want to be arrested.
Also they can ban your ip. So no one in the state would see or interact with that instance.
Barred from Louisiana, Virginia, and Utah? I'd take my chances ๐
Not saying I disagree lol
