    So, they are basically announcing that they are

    forming a committee

    to figure out

    how to talk about

    how to understand the stuff?

    …Honestly, it could have been a lot worse.

    Everyone on today’s internet is directly exposed to regulations like GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and lately numerous age verification (or assurance) laws and related social media bans for minors.

    How, how, how did we manage to stray this far from John Perry Barlow’s dreams? Is there any good left in the world? ;_;

    It doesn’t say what they’re planning to do about laws requiring age verification. It says they’re forming a group to figure that out. The problem with bad legislation is you can’t just ignore it, so they need to at least work out an approach. In itself this news is neutral, but we’ll have to see what they decide.
