It might happen for some instances, but I think if some countries start requiring fediverse instances to do this, most users will switch to instances hosted in countries that don't require it.

I'm based in the UK. But my instance only actually has single digits of actual active users. So, it's not bothering me too much. The moment I get a letter from OFCOM, or I see they're enforcing against smaller federated sites, I'll just remove non login readable capability and make it entirely invite only (which won't be a problem, the only people joining for ages were bots and when I added the AI blocking/cloudflare protection they've stopped coming too). Until then I am assuming they're going after the actual social media companies.

Will this switching become an illegal act?
