“All platforms in the EU have to have a dedicated page on their websites where it says how many user numbers they have in the EU and where they are legally established,”
I think that's standard on mastodon and pleroma instances.
Under the DSA, platforms with more than 45 million users in the bloc qualify as “very large online platforms” and need to follow stricter content moderation rules under the commission’s supervision.
Clearly defined rules? How interesting... but moderation is a thing on the fediverse so, meh... maybe mastodon.social has to worry about it.
Smaller platforms are still required to comply with the law, but are regulated by the EU country where they have a legal presence. That’s so far unclear in the case of Bluesky, which was created expressly to avoid a centralized ownership structure.
And yet they're not decentralized yet... if ever. Anyway, servers are physical.
A while back i was looking for instances in the EU and while a few claimed to be from a few different countries, their servers were all in Helsinki...
The method developed by the researchers involves placing VVF power cables in a glass reactor where they are subjected to microwave radiation. The pyrolysis carbonizes the PVC insulation, exposing the copper wire and allowing it to be easily recovered.
So putting cables in a microwave to melt the plastic?
This was achieved without the generation or use of toxic chemicals. The researchers explain that during the pyrolysis, the PVC insulation underwent rapid dichlorination and carbonization, which prevented the formation of harmful byproducts such as tar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dioxins.
However, if something goes wrong, and they do the wrong thing, we want to be able to send out some kind of command or similar, that will completely lock, block, or wipe the sensitive data.
You're assuming you'll have a network connection and that sensitive data is all in the same place.
Short of remotely unlocking an encrypted disk on every single boot... and even then...
For real.
