Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Just want to make sure you understand that Meta is acting preemptively to get the federal government to back down..

The legislation C-18 will not come into force until the end of the year.

While Meta’s platforms can reasonably expect to be listed due to their digital market power, they have not yet been listed. The regulations necessary to operationalize the law haven’t even been published for consultation.
