The unintended consequences of this seem off the charts. It's not clear what type of moderation is acceptable under the law. The law was designed to target big sites, but very little stops someone from registering tens of millions of users on a site with a particular slant, posting something that will obviously get moderated, and then suing the site. I can imagine that both active moderation and meta-moderation by voting would expose a site to litigation. |

Curious that "big site" is defined as 50 million users and not, say, 1 million users.
Maybe because the right-wing authors of this law want right-wing sites to be able to grow and still be exempt from the law, to allow right-wing communities to continue censoring views they don't like.
For example, Truth Social (2 million users), Gettr (3 million users) and Gab (4 million users).
