It shuts down Truth social and all social networks. YouTube stops allowing uploads, the fediverse closes up shop, cats and dogs living together.

It doesn't shut the Fediverse; it just means each user needs to run their own instance so that the "user" doing the speech and the "publisher" liable for it are one in the same.

Ah, good point. I guess things would rapidly re-form in the favor of the fediverse if this law was overturned…

Sounds like a monkey paw situation to me!

As long as the Fourth Estate gets their shit together.
