  let’s hope they stop at that and don’t give out their info like yahoo did before for china and other oppressive governments

  My naive guess is that if the Turkish government ban access to BlueSky for not complying, that cuts into user count and therefore profitability.

    That’s so dumb of Bluesky. They should provide ways for poeple to get around it or point to resources that explain how.

    I STRONGLY disagree with this move. Once you give into one country it can way to easily lead to others (with more power) also trying.

      Disagree as much as you want, but assuming you’re a user, will you keep using it? This isn’t a whoopsie, or unexpected. As you pointed out, it will happen again. And it was always the safe, profitable choice for them - they’re a for-profit business beholden to VC money, not a political organisation or community project like Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.

      It’s far easier to make that decision before they gain critical mass like twitter and reddit did.
