Just curious, how would this happen in practice? As I understand lemmy instances are defederated across the globe. Who would they send their demands to? Also there is already some nsfw content in lemmy, are those expected to respond now in some way?

Maybe they'll just make the Fediverse illegal in the UK. Or all non-corporate sites that can't afford to pay a company like Persona.
