The Bluesky Android mobile app is telling me I cannot use Bluesky unless I provide my date of birth.

(I haven't looked at Bluesky in a while — so, this might not be a new thing.)

I wonder if you can get around this by just installing an alternative (3rd party) Bluesky mobile app.

If I try to view a post on Bluesky web-based app, while being logged in, I see the following age-gate (in the attached screen-shots) — and am prevented from seeing the post.

If I try to view the post without being logged in, I don't get the age-gate, and can just see the post.

@reiver Or give a fake one. As long as it doesn't require official verification.

When we can't block massive data collection, we can still twist the data that is being collected.

@reiver compliance in advance with age verification laws, I think. But they only control their apps.
