v1.111 is live today!  —  We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.  —  Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved “who to follow” suggestions in the near future.

Australia's ban on under-16 social media users takes effect, as Meta, YouTube, and others remove users; platforms that don't comply risk up to AU$49.5M in fines

Accounts held by users under 16 must be removed on apps that include TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, Kick, Twitch and Threads under ban

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.  —  While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
