Did Bluesky have to censor Turkish political commenters?
Of course they did. Any centralized social network works this way and has this vulnerability.
They will have to do it with your political posts too, when the US starts asking them to do it.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Arguably if they aren't concerned about business interests in Turkey, and at the worst case... don't plan to have any staff ever visit Turkey where they could be arrested... they certainly don't *have* to.
But it certainly feels like they got a very eager head start into obeying authoritarians way earlier than they likely would be truly compelled to in any meaningful way.
