That list and the account that created it was shut down 8 months ago. Any list with a 'did' string and not a handle is more than likely removed from the platform.

Yeah in theory someone could craft a bot to create multiple accounts, randomizing IP for each. Then have another bot to scan the email accounts and verify the accounts.

But is anyone going to go to that trouble, just to inflate some postings?

Need loads of email addresses, I am aware of the method of + Addressing.

All you need to do is read their privacy policy and it is in detail how they will utilize your information! US verified provider but not in the UK/EU! www.thegist.ie/the-gist-age...
The Gist: Age Verification is an Epic fail
From the 21st July 2025, Ireland’s regulator will be enforcing age checks at the door for social media sites in the EU. This is the Gist.

I can't disagree with your statement. But we are where we are now requiring age gating on websites/platforms because parents not taking responsibility of doing it on devices. Must kids setup mobile devices themselves with no or little parent supervision or monitoring?

I think this is the reply your thinking of?

I can't see how these rules will protect children, tell a child you can't do that & they will try. It will only help unscrupulous websites to entice children, for example I run a small forum & I checked with Ofcom they say the rule does not apply to me.

A members only forum is simple to set up.

Strange I have heard of forums shutting down because they couldn't comply with the rules. If your forum generates enough traffic you could be in the height of trouble with Ofcom.

Basically yes! Angry at the their choice of age gate provider. The fact their implementation is not robust enough for EU/UK guidelines on it. Is just an additional note. Not really mad at the possible workarounds. But BlueSky could face fines in the UK, because it is not robust enough.

Your reliance on the 'KWS' privacy abusing service is going to be your downfall. You badly need to offer alternative methods.
Also your use of 'KWS' at the app level instead of on the server is not robust enough, easily bypassed with extensions! @samuel.bsky.team @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app

No pdsls.dev record for them, so I assume they are private? Update the app or hard refresh website to see them.

Also a quickly thrown together webpage to display the MP4 Hopefully will get around to integrating into my ATProtoViewer and pull the params from PDS records. Also made the mistake of coding it to my PDS

It is working now after I attempted on Mobile Quetta Browser and also on desktop. So can not recreate the earlier bugs where it was not working.

Is possible to externally link to videos for display?

Is this actually functional yet? Manage to get a file to upload. But it only creates the record but no blob for the actual file?

The amount of information may be minimal but what about there tracking you across platforms you also might chose to use the service with! I have seen nothing yet that would warrant me utilizing their service? ‪@tupped.bsky.social

I know that the platforms are yet to small to be bound by EU laws. But some people have taken issue with KWS provider of the verification system? bsky.app/profile/cork...
@samuel.bsky.team @bsky.app Hope when you do the same for the EU version, you don't tie the process to site/owners like 'Epic Games'? www.thegist.ie/the-gist-age... Thanks @tupped.bsky.social

as head of product, my job is simple: listen to you and bring you more of what you want from social.

first up… a feature so requested, we lost count of how many times you asked.

any guesses??

Feedback on CG only?

What about TOS? Could you please provide an alternative Age verification provider than 'KWS'.

Yourselves and 'Xitter' have the same problem, using a client side process, instead of on the server, so your implementation is not robust enough for EU/UK Guidelines.
