Hmm. Had to verify my age before using Bluesky from the web this morning. Good news is the verification process was fast.

I thought the Texas law was to put the burden on the App Store and Google Play to centralize age verification. A little confused now about the scope.

@manton their announcement and a good link to the Texas law

@manton Maybe Apple just has to supply the age verification API? (Which it looks like Bluesky is using here?)

Out of curiosity I tried it on the web and got redirected to a third party provider, which took a lot longer.

@manton I did not do it yet. I hate where all of this is going all to “Protect the Kids”

@markstoneman Yeah, I’m sure a VPN would work, but I really don’t want to have to think about that just for a quick look at Bluesky.

@manton bluesky was made by the same nazi that sold twitter to that other nazi.
