I'm really conflicted at this. I do not want the internet to be censored, but at the same time, I think that big internet companies are making the world worse through inaction.

Even if a user or $/yr minimum is implemented in law, then what happens as distributed and federated technology becomes more common? What does Mastadon or Scuttlebutt count as?

Do you have any references for that?

I am not an expert but from my perspective I don't see why these would be illegal due to copyright or data protection laws in the UK?
