So how would this work with the fediverse? Like we federate all content...its going to be VERY difficult to do anything if political content creators keep being told to take it down.

No, it's worse than that. It's impossible to meet the standards set in this and other bills of it's type without having a shortlist of curated, controlled people creating online content. That's literally the point, keeping people from interesting with information they deem unsavory.

That said, it is impossible to enforce unless they want to set up the great firewall of america.
