Bluesky said it’s working to comply with European Union rules after the bloc accused the fast-growing social media platform of flouting its digital regulations.
The company is consulting with its lawyer to follow the EU’s information disclosure rules, a Bluesky spokesperson wrote Tuesday in an email.
Bluesky, which was started in 2019 as a decentralized version of Twitter, has exploded in popularity in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory, as many X users have sought alternatives to the Elon Musk-owned platform.

I really don’t like this.
We’re going through a disconnection between both sides of the Atlantic that doesn’t make any sense from a communication standpoint. To me X is a fully viable network with a lot of quality information on many topics. I don’t see the point in cancelling them. It’s all about censorship!

It’s pay-walled so it would be helpful if you could post exactly what regulations it’s supposed to be flouting. It doesn’t need to disclose active user numbers as it’s not large enough. Something GDPR related?
