Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.

The social non-profit explains that Mastodon doesn’t track its users, which makes it difficult to enforce such legislation. Nor does it want to use IP address-based blocks, as those would unfairly impact people who were traveling, it says.

@SnowshadowII even though I read all the sources from this link, it still seems too bizarre to be true, but if it is, I think I found the key part of it:

"2) It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo."

meaning some of their more hated genders and sexualities won't be able to have children via artificial insemination. The Christian right is effing looney and vile.
