Yeah, I wasn't trying to get into a debate on Bluesky's moderation policies in this post, just trying to highlight that Blacksky is able to take a different.

Some context though is that Bluesky moderation changed their guidelines to prohibit "glorifying violence" -- then ran amok and started deleting a lot of posts that weren't actually glorifying violence, they were just very unsympathetic to Kirk. Is "rest in piss" glorifying violence? I wouldn't have said so! But hey, it's their network, they set the rules.

In terms of Mississippi and the UK, it's hard to know what regulators will focus on. I did another post last month about the Mississippi situation - https://privacy.thenexus.today/mississippi-bluesky-blacksky-the-atmosphere-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

I had seen that letter from Microsoft asking to delete the account that was federated in from another server. As decentralized social networks get more traction, I think we should expect to see more of these. I don't know the specifics of the laws on this, so hard to know whether "it's just a cached copy of the data" is going to be a successful defense. In general though I think both this and the age verification situation are areas where there's a lot of value for fedi and the ATmosphere to work together to influence regulations and legal interpretations as things move forward.
