    It doesn’t matter all that much, if your service can be accessed in a country, you have to bend to their rules, or get blocked, and Turkish users will no longer be able to access Bluesky.

      OK, so let them block you. What the fuck is that gonna do? A country wants to get pissy, let them get pissy. And while they’re getting pissy, give the people who live there directions on how to get a VPN and bypass their government and its laws.
