Bluesky said that it’s looking at ways to enable users to communicate their consent preferences externally, though it’s up to those parties whether they respect those preferences.
The company posted: “Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings. We’re having ongoing conversations with engineers & lawyers and we hope to have more updates to share on this shortly!”
What’s clear here is that while Bluesky is surging in popularity, its rapid rise to the forefront of the global consciousness will mean it’s subject to the same levels of scrutiny as other major social platforms.
