I would not surprise me if eventualy Mastodon servers will have to do the same especially the Mastodon servers located in the EU and UK.
There is not "the" Mastodon. If servers are affected by such stupid laws, people can go to servers in countries that aren't affected. Or at least until the great firewall is built.
Which is also exactly why it will never be popular. People don't want to have to deal with jumping around instances, dealing with the poor discoverability of the fediverse, etc. Even lemmy has that issue, I'm here because im a linux nerd so there is a decent amount of content i want here found easily but for anything else might as well be worthless.
Sorry I meant the Mastodon servers located in the EU and UK, not Mastodon as a whole.
The EU does not require age verification, only the UK does.
Actually the EU has mandated "proper" age verification for pornographic sites in order to protect the children.
So it wouldn't surprise me if it will extend eventually too other sites too.
