Microblogging platform Bluesky asks Texas users to verify their ages, citing new app store law

2026-07-01  Per Henrikson

A large blue button instructed users to verify their ages. Those who didn't want to were directed to either log out or delete their account entirely. Many Bluesky users were unable to access the age verification screen and were instead given an error. But users who did found that their options to verify their ages included putting in the last four digits of their Social Security Number, inputting a credit card number or having their driver's license scanned.
