Bluesky, keep your "Age Assurance", I'm definitely not going to upload my ID, biometrics or anything else to your partner "Kids Web Services"

Would never trust their parent company Epic Games (owned by Disney / Tencent...)

Luckily there are plenty of ways to bypass this: https://gist.github.com/cynion/e92af851c2d2d015c67aaa0170baaeff

Privacy Matters!

Screenshot of the Bluesky "Age Assurance" pop up The text on it reads: "Due to laws in your region, certain features on Bluesky are currently restricted until you're able to verify you're an adult. Based on your network, we think you're in United Kingdom. This estimate may be inaccurate if you're using a VPN."

Eh companies yell loudly about any minor inconvenience they have to some proposed law or change. Want to raise wages, security or improve working hours? The companies kick and scream about their profits, threaten with closures and more. But when it comes to age verification the majority is awfully quiet if not out right supportive.
