Where is Bluesky blocked?
Bluesky is blocked, restricted or age-gated in 6 countries and territories — 5 complete bans and 1 age-verification requirement in total.
Islamic Republic of Iran
Mississippi
Mississippi's HB 1126 requires social platforms to age-verify every user and obtain parental consent for minors. Bluesky pulled out of Mississippi entirely on 22 August 2025 rather than comply, then returned on 8 December 2025 as an 18+-only service in the state — adults must pass an age check and under-18s remain barred. Larger platforms had not implemented the checks while a Fifth Circuit appeal (NetChoice v. Fitch) remains pending.
North Korea
People's Republic of China
Turkmenistan
