How does the new Texas law effect Lemmy? (www.theverge.com)

How's this going to effect Lemmy? I was a kid online once, I would have loved something like Lemmy. With this Texas law, theoretically the people running an instance could be in trouble when some kid signs up for their server which won't have the desired parental controls...

The 509 section on Applicability seems to restrict this to services specifically targeting or deliberately creating environments suitable for, or providing attractions that can only be reasonably targeted to minors.

So if you don't create kidzone.world or a blues clues community you're probably alright, if you can show you don't target or encourage minor participation.
