Details
The new favorite of social networks Bluesky is being criticized by the EU supervisory authority for non-compliance with transparency obligations. that is, it violates the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The EU executive said on Monday that Bluesky did not provide information that it is required to share under the block's Digital Services Act, which regulates content on social media sites.
for Reference
According to the DSA, platforms that can be used in the EU must provide complete information about the operator and user numbers. The latter requirement is primarily due to the fact that a platform with 45 million or more daily users becomes the so-called VLOP (a very large online platform), which is subject to even stricter requirements.
All platforms in the EU must have a dedicated page on their websites indicating how many user numbers they have in the EU and where they are legally established
Bluesky's Response
Bluesky said it was working to comply with European Union rules after the bloc accused the fast-growing social media platform of violating digital rules.
The company is consulting with its lawyer on compliance with EU disclosure rules, a Bluesky spokesperson wrote in an email on Tuesday.
recall
Bluesky, a social network created by former Twitter CEOJack Dorsey, abandoned the invitation system and opened registration to all users to encourage them to participate more actively.
The social network Bluesky recorded a significant increase in new users. This happened against the background of an outflow of users from Platform X (formerly Twitter) after the US presidential election. The platform reached 14.5 million users.
Celebrities active at Bluesky include rapper Lizzo and comedian Ricky Gervais, as well as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who recently created an account.
