Working with the UK Government to Protect Children Online

Part of Bluesky’s mission to create a more open and decentralized social web is helping users feel safe and in control of their experience. We always try to balance safety with privacy, and free expression with civility.

To achieve our mission, we also work with governments around the world. In the UK, the Online Safety Act requires that online platforms take specific steps to reduce the risk of children seeing harmful content. Since certain parts of that act come into effect later this month, we’re making some changes for people in the UK.

We’ll use Epic Games’ Kids Web Services (KWS) to give our UK community choices about how to verify their age. If you’re in the UK, you can choose between methods like payment card verification, ID scans, and face scans. (See here to learn more about how KWS safeguards user information.) For people who are under 18 or don’t want to go through this process, we’ll make adult-appropriate content inaccessible, and we’ll disable features like direct messaging.

If you’re in the UK, you’ll see a notification on our platform when this update takes effect, and a way to report unwanted content:

Users in the UK will see notices of age requirements, and instructions for completing age verification.

Users can report content through flows like the one pictured.

In addition to these updates, we’ll continue to look at how we’re doing toshield children from unwanted content, and how we can improve.

More like 20% female and a bunch of liars. If they accurate reported the troons it would look bad on the reports they use to pitch to venture capital bros.

If they're using something that might guesstimate off of writing styles and topics then that would explain the 60% males. The post said they don't collect gender user data directly. So may not be reported. If it IS then yeah nah drop that percentile way lower.

I demand my estimates to be exact and "roughly" to mean "without error", so I can complain about how my niche within a niche isn't represented on a basic and pointless demographic analysis.

I absolutely love posts like this because they show the rot at the core of these sorts of hyper-cynical and misanthropic peoples' philosophies - it absolutely does not matter how far out you reach for the sake of these people, you will be made an enemy for not reaching far enough, and there is almost nothing in my experience that's as radicalizing as being bitten by someone you're trying to help for the crime of not helping enough.

These people are their own worst enemy, because their all-or-nothing philosophy leads them to actively shun away all their allies, rather than recognizing that someone can be beneficial to you even if they aren't completely unilaterally aligned. Completely putting aside the virtue or rhetorical strength of any of their arguments, merely shoving everyone away is how you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Unbelievable, lmao. Bluesky users are insufferable, apparently their own platform is not good enough for those mental patients.

"This is just what a social media platform looks like when extremist right wingers aren't using bots and/or forcing algoriths"

"The world has been pushed so far to the right, that even conservative moderates are labeled left leaning"

Don't these two sentences directly contradict each other? If the world is far right, then why do right wingers need to use bots and force algorithms? Also, how can there even be right-wing "extremists" if the whole world now leans far right?

It's bog-standard "silent majority" framing with a bit of dead internet theory mixed in, but this tard isn't very articulate: according to what the average person believes, Blue Sky is centrist. But because of bots and The Algorithm, the world (aka the internet) is far to the right of what the average person believes. The argument does make sense, it's just wrong -- if anything, it is flipped, as evidenced by the fact that Blue Sky is dying and Twitter is thriving (not entirely fair because dislodigng an established network is an uphill fight, but still), Trump being reelected and continuing to do well in polls, etc. You don't have to like MAGA, but you just sound delusional when you call them extreme.

I get that 90% of politics is redefining blue until the sky is green, but I'm utterly fascinated by the way these extremists think they're the only ones who get to play that game.
