Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law?

If servers of someinstance.co.au fine if they move to hosting in Finland?

It just feels like a nightmare.

    On reddthat, we got this notice in an announcement back in March 2025:

    Age Restriction

    Effective immediately everyone on Reddthat needs to be 18 years old and futher interaction on the platform confirms you are over the age of 18 and agree with these terms.

    If you are under the age of 18 you will need to delete your account under Settings

    This has also been outlined in our signup form that has been updated around the start of February.

        We discussed it in the community posts back in Dec 2024 when the law passed – February is when the sign up change happened and March was when the announcement went up. The UK’s bullshit may be what prompted the announcement happening then though.

          Yeah, but what I mean is that wasn’t a reaction to Australia here. Since your threshold here is 18, not 16.

            reddthat is an instance hosted in Australia; so the answer to “how will the ban affect it” is “we already have an age limit in place”. That’s my point.
