It's almost as if the effort was financially backed by the failing web2.0 empire (aka centralized social media and Big Tech webpages) specifically to help it remain competitive against the rising wave of web3.0 sources (decentralization such as the Fediverse). Oh ah, I mean "for the children", yeah...
You vastly overestimate the influence of the fediverse. This is a cash grab and a monitoring scheme, nothing more or less. Bills like this have been proposed in the us and uk since before web 2.0 was a fever dream of the most deranged creatives rooming with engineers.
