Until the other penny drops and makes federation impossible: making it so users on other instances are treated as your users if they interact with your instance. If such a law was introduced I’d imagine they’d carve out an exemption for e-mail since that would cause utter chaos.
So basically, all the actually free and impactful social media infrastructure gets moved to a country that doesn't obey foreign laws. What a victory for western hegemony.
