Early @hackernoon.com polling results re: @bsky.app vs. #mississippi: hackernoon.com/polls/are-yo...
Are you Team Bluesky or Mississippi Age Assurance Law? Bluesky has blocked access in Mississippi after the state enacted HB1126, the Age Assurance Law, which requires online platforms to verify users’ ages with government IDs or third-party checks. The company argues that such laws undermine privacy, chill free expression, and clash with its decentralized model, where user data isn’t meant to be funneled through centralized ID checks. Lawmakers, however, claim the rules are essential to keep minors safe online. Where do you stand? Poll Results

AI Search Traffic Marketshare for Calling @hackernoon.com Blogs: 52% #OpenAI, 30% #Amazon & 18% #Perplexity. 1.9M requests analyzed hackernoon.com/ai-search-tr...
OpenAI (51.8%) leads AI search traffic market share, based on my analysis of end-user–initiated AI Assistant and AI Search requests to HackerNoon. While Amazon (30.4%) and Perplexity (17.9%) also secured significant portions of the market, the total volume of requests (1,915,670 in 30 days) and competition among AI search providers indicate increasing reliance on AI for information retrieval and presentation.
