3 things.

  1. Is there a minimum number of users for this to be effective? If so, just keeping you instance under that amou t should work.

  2. Can they really charge someone who is not running the instance for profit? The article states that the social media owner must take "commercially reasonable" action to verify users. Technically, nothing is commercially reasonable if you aren't running a Comercial business right?

3.. Related to 2. The article says "social media companies". Most instances aren't being ran by companies... So again this may be an out for those running instances.
