Bluesky has blocked access in Mississippi, citing privacy and free speech concerns over a new law requiring all social media users to undergo age verification with fines of up to $10,000 per violation.

    Also, a detail but:

    It’s considered likely to be unconstitutional.

    The ruling now allows Mississippi to enforce its social media law while case continues in the lower court. In the ruling, Kavanaugh also cited several district court rulings opposing similar age-verification laws, concluding that “the Mississippi law is likely unconstitutional.”

      Didn’t SCOTUS recently uphold one of these age verification laws?
