Bluesky is adding age verification features for users in the UK


Bluesky users in the UK will soon need to verify their age if they want continued access to direct messages and all of the service's content.

Bluesky ssers in the UK who don't verify their age will no longer be able to access direct messaging or see adult content shared in the app. Bluesky notes that it's making the change in order to comply with the terms of the UK's Online Safety Act, which requires websites and apps that permit adult content to verify the ages of their users. The US Supreme Court recently upheld a Texas law requiring porn sites to conduct age verification checks on users.
