I'm guessing it would be up to each server admin if they chose to follow those government requests, right? Have we seen anything like this happen on Mastodon servers yet?

I took a train to Sacramento today. The second we got off the train, I started playing with my #yoyo and this stranger walks buy and asks “have you heard of Doctor Popular?”. I said “that’s me” and we chatted for a minute. It turns out I was talking to #AndySinger, a cartoonist from Minneapolis that was a major influence on me and my art. It’s funny we bumped into each other in a town neither of us live in. I’ll write more about him, and the impact he had on my life, soon. image
Hey @pixelfed and @dansup, I'm organizing a Pixelfed/fediverse photo walk in San Francisco this weekend and would love if you could help spread the word. More details on the #PixelWalk can be found in this post

Early planning: I’m organizing a photo walk with my fellow fediverse friends (that’s you!) through the Mission District in SF next Saturday (2/15). Focused on #SFgraffiti and murals. Who’s interested in joining me and would you prefer 10am or 2pm start time? #PixelWalk #PixelWalkSF
I absolutely love receiving messages like this, and I'm happy to see friends from the #yoyo community dipping their toes into the fediverse! In this message, @npub1xz22...xxdp is asking if there good for yo-yoers, so I thought I'd ask for suggestions. Any #skilltoy or #juggling themed Mastodon servers out there for him to check out? image
Meta is labelling real mug shot photos of President Trump as "AI-generated fakes". I wrote more about this on my blog, along with plenty of screenshots from FB, IG, and Threads to show how bad it looks.

Why is Meta labelling Trump's Real mug shot as a fake? - Doc Pop's Weblog
Meta is tagging mug shot photos of Donald Trump as "not real" and "made with AI", even though the photo is real and easily verifiable.
 Between this and the recent censorship of political hashtags like #Democrat and #Kamala, I think Zuck is making a strong case for the decentralized alternatives like Mastodon and Pixelfed.
I posted Trump's mug shot photo on Threads and got an instant notification that the post had been fact-checked. The message under my post claimed that the image was AI-generated (which is false) and links to a super-spammy website claiming, "No credible outlet has published a police mugshot of Trump." I did find a way to request a review of the fact-check, but it made my post hidden from public view. I'll update here if/when the review has taken place.
