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."

No, I absolutely blame BlueSky, because they purport themselves to be different from Big Tech, and they absolutely aren't, and this is a great example. You can see fedi servers around the world omitting age verification because they're either not in the UK or don't make any money.
