LOS ANGELES—Bluesky confirmed on Wednesday that it is implementing age verification measures in the U.S. states of Wyoming and South Dakota. This is in response to the local age verification statutes and social media safety laws, the company notes. "Bluesky users in South Dakota and Wyoming can choose from multiple methods to verify their age. Bluesky has chosen to adopt Kids Web Services (KWS), an age assurance tool developed by Epic Games. Bluesky announced last month that users from Mississippi IP addresses will be blocked due to compliance issues with a controversial social media age verification law that is central to ongoing litigation in federal courts.
