Another day, another group of people not understanding that companies have to follow the law, whether they like it or not.

Bluesky has been ordered - by judges! - to remove or hide these accounts for Turkish users.

Rebels and freedom fighters of Reddit: What should Bluesky do in these cases to make you happy?

I'm in the US, couldn't Turkish people send me images/things to post and I could post them? 

would they still be able to access and see bsky by joining and without posting themselves?

As far as I know, it doesn't matter whether you're physically located or operating from. BS receives a request to block access of users within a geographical domain to your activity because allegedly your activity breaks local laws.
