I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.
BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi.
This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org.
We ditched X for BlueSky early this year.
And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof.
I don't know what we'll do next.

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.

No just or decent society allows this sort of cruelty, this evil.
ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.
