Email from Bluesky in the screenshot:

Hi there,

We are writing to inform you that we have received a formal request from a legal authority in Turkey regarding the removal of your account associated with the following handle (@carekavga.bsky.social) on Bluesky.

The legal authority has claimed that this content violates local laws in Turkey. As a result, we are required to review the request in accordance with local regulations and Bluesky's policies.

Following a thorough review, we have determined that the content in question violates local laws in Turkey, as outlined in the legal request. In compliance with these legal provisions, we have restricted access to your account for users.

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.

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 🤷‍♀️

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

it looks like they are restricted only from turkey. the account in question looks fine from other countries, or through VPN.

Oh look, once again, I was right.

Be shocked if it wasn't so common.

So, is your account just restricted in Turkey? Or everywhere, based on local Turkish law?

Jack Dorsey earning those libertarian bona fides.
