Bluesky — Regulatory Order
moderate→
Bluesky announced implementation of age verification for UK users to comply with the Online Safety Act ahead of Ofcom's July 25 enforcement deadline. The system uses Epic Games' Kids Web Services (KWS), offering verification via facial age estimation (powered by Yoti), government ID upload, or credit card check. Users under 18 or who decline verification lose access to adult content and direct messaging. Non-compliance carried fines of up to 18 million GBP or 10% of global revenue.
