BSKY is full of cam girls. I started getting random follows from people with no posts, and nothing on their profiles except links to the pages where they sell videos of themselves. Went straight to mastadon.

I mean... does every site where communication happens not have that? random scams are just part of the Internet, federated or not 🤷‍♀️

Why the fuck is BlueSky, an American company, required to comply with Turkish demands...?

So back to Mastadon then. I was not using BSKY much anyway to be fair.

Well as a company bluesky, would need to abide by the laws of where it is offering it's services.

They can't just ignore the request of the country's government. They could either challenge it in court or stop offering their services altogether.
