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."

I'll keep saying it: democracy doesn't rest on elections and whatnot, it rests on fear of government officials to lose their place - or, on extreme end, their head - should they go against people's will.

If this fear isn't there, everything else will be warped to suit their needs.
