Bluesky rolls out age verification for users in Ohio

Bluesky, a social networking platform, has implemented age verification requirements for users in the state of Ohio. Starting on Monday, individuals in Ohio will need to verify their age in order to access and use the Bluesky network. The move comes as part of Bluesky's efforts to ensure compliance with local regulations and to create a safer online environment for its users. By requiring age verification, the platform aims to limit access to its services for underage individuals and to provide a more age-appropriate experience for its user base. The specific details of the age verification process, such as the methods used and the information required from users, have not been disclosed by Bluesky. However, the company has stated that the new requirement is being implemented in Ohio and may be expanded to other regions in the future. The introduction of age verification on Bluesky's platform is a significant step in the ongoing efforts to enhance online safety and protect minors from potentially harmful or inappropriate content.
