      Where is bluesky based? As far as I know you have to follow the laws of where you are based. Otherwisse we’d have to follow the lowest common denominator, like north korea, or afghanistan or the like

        it doesn’t matter where you’re based; if you’re operating in a country, you follow the laws of that country.

          Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.

          It’s really the country you’re based in that matters the most.

      Honestly at this point I want to host a distributed Lemmy instance and completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

      It might sound extreme, but pretty sure at this point I’d be willing to die for it given the state of global politics.
