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."

This is mainly on the brits, not specifically on Bluesky. They are racing to make the british public the most surveilled, personally identified and fully activity-logged population in the world.

Sure, you could just not implement this, but if you want to earn money in a country, then you will have to conform to the laws there, just as you have to adhere to the GDPR in the EU.
