I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

Okay, so I guess people in Texas can't use this app anymore. How many of my friends are going to disappear now? ☹️ Also, this isn't going to stop with Texas. If the KIDS Act or KOSA isn't stopped, this'll be your future, too:

A screenshot a friend of mine from Texas shared with me. They can't access BlueSky now unless they share sensitive information with the app.

Contact your senators TODAY and yell their ears off about how much you oppose these bills. Get family and friends involved. Tell them to oppose The KIDS Act and KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

afaik, they're referring to the Texas App Store Age Verification law, which as it says, applies to APP STORES, not individual apps. If that's the law Bluesky Safety is pointing too, they're straight up lying when they claim they're required to verify the age of existing users in Texas.

SB 2420 places duties on app store operators rather than on individual app developers or websites. When a user creates an account, the operator must use a commercially reasonable method to verify the user's age and assign the user to one of four categories: under 13, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, or 18 and older. The age category, not a precise birthdate, is what the store then shares with developers so apps can apply age-appropriate settings. For any user the system identifies as a minor under 18, the Act layers on parental controls. The minor's account must be affiliated with the account of a verified parent or legal guardian, and the store must obtain that parent's consent before the minor downloads an app or makes an in-app purchase. If a parent later revokes consent, the store must notify the affected developer. App stores must also display and justify each app's age rating and content descriptors, and give developers the age and consent signals they need to comply.

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.
