Bluesky has restricted access to 72 accounts in Turkey following government requests, causing an outcry among users who fled from X seeking freedom from censorship. The Freedom of Expression Association reports that these accounts were blocked under the pretext of national security. While the official Bluesky app enforces this censorship, third-party apps remain unaffected, allowing users to bypass these restrictions. Developers are urged to implement geographic labelers to comply with such demands. As censorship looms, Bluesky’s commitment to decentralization is under scrutiny, raising concerns about its future in various regions.
