Tech platforms will need to deactivate accounts for users under 16 and stop teens from making accounts until they are that age, or face fines of up to $50m
I’m interested in what you mean when you refer to a private news server? Do you mean like the Guardian app; or do you mean some sort of RSS set up; or is it some self hosted thing?
I’m interested because i have an idea for a news reposting site fed by an RSS feed, but maybe you use an equivalent system i’m not aware of.
Ooh, not sure i should’ve asked this question! I really don’t get what i’m looking at here. Thats why i’ve taken so long to reply.
The server-user diagram seems a bit like the structure of Activitypub. I think the use of the word ‘news’ is throwing me as well, they’re not using the word news in the common ‘news organisation delivers articles in some form’ sense but using the word in a more broad sense? So how is this different from Activitypub, maybe less open/connected? But its the connected servers that communicate with the Activitypub protocol as well.
TBH, I haven’t paid much attention to the workings of ActivityPub etc to comment. I’m just an oblivious end user nowadays 😀
If I really wanted to set up something like that nowadays, I’d probably use something like Lemmy anyways. news servers were basically abandoned for discussion forums hosted separately on websites, and they evolved into various social media etc. And here we are, recreating the wheel again!
Now I’m getting nostalgic. Maybe I should go hunting around usenet archives for my first post. Hahahaaa! Me so old…
The ITEE department at my uni had a newsgroup. One professor actually actively used it for his course, circa 2015. That was pretty much the only time I ever used it.
I’ve got some accounts hanging around that were basically name sitting.
What they don’t realise is:
I might even just point people to a private email and a private news server lmao.

I meant news as in nntp/usenet server.
nntp is so old school it became old school before school became old 😁
