who signs up, with a $10,000 per person fine if it is not done. As I understand it, it doesn't matter if the person is an adult for the $10K fine to apply.

Bluesky doesn't have the money to do it. While they've grown a lot this year, they don't sell ads or charge members. And they are MUCH smaller than X, although much superior, imo. Servers and personnel to handle the growth is expensive.

BlueSky lacks infrastructure. Obviously, FB and Twitter aren't worried about repercussions. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #32
