Bluesky — Regulatory Order

Bluesky blocked all access from Mississippi IP addresses in response to Mississippi's HB1126 age-assurance law, which required age verification for all users and parental consent for minors, with penalties of up to $10,000 per user. Bluesky cited privacy concerns about collecting and storing sensitive personal data, and resource constraints as a smaller platform. In December 2025, Bluesky partially restored access for adults who completed age assurance.
