Cheers!. However it seems that Bluesky might have hit a bit of a snag when it comes to following European Union regulations.
You see the EU has implemented the Digital Services Act a set of rules designed to bring more transparency to online platforms and combat harmful content. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember to keep building smarter, scaling faster, and connecting deeper in this digital age né?. While big players like Twitter and Meta have been quick to comply, Bluesky seems to have missed the memo.
According to the DSA, platforms that fail to report accurate user numbers could face penalties of up to 1% of their global annual turnover. Lately, there’s been a bit of a shake-up in the online community, with users flocking over from their competitor, X, to join the Bluesky bandwagon né?. Hey there, folks! Today I want to chat with you about Bluesky, the rising star in the world of social networks. Bluesky recently celebrated reaching 20 million users worldwide, but to meet EU regulations, they need to break down these numbers by region and make them publicly available on their website twice a year.
Although Bluesky’s global user base falls below the VLOP threshold of 45 million monthly users, the EU is keeping a close eye on compliance with the DSA né?. One of these rules requires that all online platforms operating in the EU regularly publish their regional user numbers. The European Commission has reached out to member states to make sure Bluesky doesn’t slip through the cracks and is up to date with its reporting requirements.
In a statement to TechCrunch, European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier emphasized the importance of all online platforms, including Bluesky, being transparent about their user numbers to ensure fair market monitoring.
So, while Bluesky deals with the legalities of EU regulations, let’s keep an eye on how this social network juggernaut navigates the ever-changing landscape of online governance
