That’s absolutely it. It’s not just hypocrisy either, scum like that don’t want children to be educated and participate the anti-sex-ed movement.

My school did mention that sending nudes are effectively producing and possessing illegal pornography. A few people in the class looked surprised and proceeded to delete pictures they or their partners had sent.

Disagree as much as you want, but assuming you’re a user, will you keep using it? This isn’t a whoopsie, or unexpected. As you pointed out, it will happen again. And it was always the safe, profitable choice for them - they’re a for-profit business beholden to VC money, not a political organisation or community project like Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.

It’s far easier to make that decision before they gain critical mass like twitter and reddit did.

My naive guess is that if the Turkish government ban access to BlueSky for not complying, that cuts into user count and therefore profitability.
