  Bluesky’s implementation of age-based content restrictions is entirely client-side, this is an intentional design decision.

  This simply isn’t true. It doesn’t go through Bluesky in any way, but you do connect to a 3rd party service. Thus is is not “entirely client-side”.

  Can confirm the ubo custom filter method works perfectly.

  Because it’s client side it’s gucci, but has anyone tried these UBO rules with other apps such as weddit or other sites employing KWS?

  And, is this gonna be another Consent to Cookies bollocks?

    Client side moderation is a Bluesky thing, I imagine this wouldn’t work on Reddit et al. but that depends on how it’s implemented and is going to be specific to whatever website your accessing. Or you can just use a VPN, like the BBC put it:

    When BBC News wrote about the seven methods of age verification adult websites may use in the UK and the companies who may be employed to do it, one reader comment resonated with many others.

    “Sure, I will give out my sensitive information to some random, unproven company or… I will use a VPN,” they said. “Difficult choice.”
