According to Bluesky, the Court’s decision will lead to widespread collection of sensitive data, track child users and limit free speech. Rising social media platform Bluesky has gone dark in Mississippi after a recent US Supreme Court ruling to enforce strict age verification for all social media users in the state. According to Bluesky, Mississippi’s new age assurance law will lead to widespread collection of sensitive data, track child users and limit free speech. Moreover, the compliance requirements disadvantage newer and smaller platforms such as Bluesky, it argues, which does not have the necessary resources to roll out such a comprehensive age verification system. The company says that its Mississippi block will remain in place while the courts decide whether the law will stand.
