If they did this here, I'd just stop using bluesky. I'm 41. But I have no interest in verifying ages online. We've all seen how poorly companies handle intetnal security.
Just yesterday McDonalds had their entire database of applications compromised because someone tried the password 123456.
Bluesky would be dropped instantly.
you know that the new online safety act mandates age verification for pretty much anything don't you?
