I'm pretty sure that's exactly not how the fediverse works, unless you mean the admins of specific instances

I mean the instances. If a kid here in Technology dies, whoever is running this place is on the hook now. And also lemmy.world. I'm still fuzzy about how the Fediverse works, but a scapegoat will be found. This is running on somebody's computer.

But also any type of social media in general. We're heading towards any place where people can talk to each other online will be illegal in order to protect the children.
