I can absolutely see Texas looking at it the other way. "Your website can be accessed by our citizens? On you to comply with our laws." They then spit out a bunch of criminal charges that make things rather inconvenient for some instance hosts. The US reach into international banking systems is uncomfortably long.

The real problem question is about federation. You can post to an instance from any federated instance. If an account is created in one instance and the user posts to a federated instance are both liable? You have to be able to create accounts AND post to be subject to the law. Can one instance not allow posts but host accounts for participation in other instances to skirt around the law?

There's a phrase that used to be used to defend gun rights, 'If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.'

If you make porn illegal only illegal porn will exist. They're not eliminating porn they're just shifting the source of porn to websites that don't care about compliance with US laws.

The stock wouldn't be subject to IPO laws because there was no IPO.

Trump Media 'went public' by being bought by another, already publicly traded, company. That company changed its appearance to become the current Trump Media thus bypassing the IPO process.

Digital age verification is only advocated by people who don't know how the internet works. All it's going to do is drive usage away from regulated sites to unregulated ones.
