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?
