so apparently, bluesky has started honoring government takedown requests from turkish government. i wonder what the nature of measures taken are. do the accounts or the content get taken down or do they get geofenced, @jay.bsky.team ?

it looks like they are restricted only from turkey. the account in question looks fine from other countries, or through VPN. as @fka.dev mentioned, how different PDS situation will unfold in these cases is a bit mystery. bsky.app/profile/gokh...

country-level content moderation on bluesky is seemingly configured on the client-side. i wonder if this is just a perf optimization, or a third-party client can bypass regional restrictions?

It should be very easy to test! Lots of third part clients including web based ones such as skychat.social
