In a world where social media sometimes feels like a digital kindergarten, Bluesky is stepping up its game with a new age assurance policy. No more pretending to be a grown-up to jump into the social fray!
Their latest terms of service remind us that in some places, if you want access to certain features—or heaven forbid, post those cringe-worthy memes—you’ll have to prove you’re not just a wise-beyond-your-years 12-year-old.
Bluesky’s age verification machine is already humming away in the UK, responding to local laws like a well-trained puppy fetches a stick. But don’t fret, it’s all legit—meeting those jurisdictional laws means they won’t just take your word for it. Think of it as a bouncer at a club that’s actually checking IDs instead of just eyeballing your questionable hairstyle.
As Bluesky updates its community guidelines to roll out on October 15th, you might want to get your affairs in order. Remember, if you’re still using your mom’s old Facebook account to join the conversation, you might need to level up your profile to avoid being left out in the cold!
So, whether you’re a wholesome 20-something wanting to share cat content or a dubious teenager sneaking in through the back door of the digital sphere, be prepared—Bluesky is keeping an eye out. Will you be ready to prove your age, or will you get the digital boot? Food for thought!
