With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure.

For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi.

To learn more, read our blog post:
Our Response to Mississippi’s Age Assurance Law - Bluesky
A new Mississippi law requires us to block full access to Bluesky unless all users complete age checks. We have concerns about this law’s implementation.

USA state Law online safety act is even worse then the UK online safety act. I hope you take a dump on Mississippi
bsky.app Bluesky @bsky.app · Aug 22
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

look like UK media is running the UK more than the PM Starmer
A repeat of the spectacle in the Oval Office, when sections of the UK media actively tried to drive wedges, embarrass Starmer, and create some sort of diplomatic incident. Ironic that the same media orgs endlessly wang on about “patriotism”, then treat events like this as a sabotage opportunity. ~AA
