    For those of us that are not familiar with all the (future) online laws worldwide, based on what clauses will they be shutting down?

    I skimmed the article, but couldn’t find the specifics.

    Quote from it:

    On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS.
