I suppose it’s more me being curious about why the bigger-boys aren’t using age-ID there.

Also, a detail but:

It’s considered likely to be unconstitutional.

The ruling now allows Mississippi to enforce its social media law while case continues in the lower court. In the ruling, Kavanaugh also cited several district court rulings opposing similar age-verification laws, concluding that “the Mississippi law is likely unconstitutional.”

So I’m curious. If this law is in play in Mississippi now, are Mississippians being prompted for their ID on Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc? I would check myself but my VPN doesn’t have a Mississippi server.

If not, and they’re not bothering, then why is Bluesky reacting like this specifically?

I really, really doubt that a website owner based in USA would be extradited to the UK for not complying with UK local law with how they run their website. That’s absurd.

I doubt that the USA would recognise and take down websites for not following Ofcoms requirements. And Ofcom would 100% be too cowardly to even threaten that. They’d just geoblock.
