Comment on Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test

Bluesky is a small indie company. It can’t afford to fight the law or implement the extensive age verification the law requires. So it chose to pull the plug and leave.

FB, X, etc, have a lot more resources to either implement the extensive, invasive age verification Mississippi requires or keep fighting it in court.

I’m of the opinion that even if it is final, at some points laws are so ridiculous they must cease to be effective for all.

    Why would it affect their bottom line other than positively? Corporations love fascism because it can make it mandatory for people to buy from them, among other things.
