He would get blocked there because BlueSky will comply with legal requests as well, because if they don’t they will face criminal charges and/or massive fines. BlueSky, being a platform that loves censorship, would not challenge the legal order in court like X are either.

The Turkish government does not have the authority to enforce criminal charges on an American person/company.
Even fediverse instance owners would be forced to block his accounts under threat of fines and/or prosecution.
Only if the instance owners/servers were in Turkey.

Criminal charges was probably the wrong word, but that’s being pedantic. The company operates in Turkey and allows Turkish people to use the product, so they have to follow Turkish laws. The Turkish government can file legal charges against them for failure to comply.

It’s not. At all.
they would either have to block their instance from all Turkish users, or comply.
No, they wouldn’t. Once again, Turkey has no authority over people and servers not located in their jurisdiction.

For some reason that post does show up for me, but I can’t vote on it, because “it’s been removed”. The crosspost offers a 400 error. Really weird.
