EU says Bluesky is violating information disclosure rules
Nov 25, 2024 6:34 AM

BRUSSELS, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Bluesky, the rapidly

growing social media platform, is violating EU regulations by

failing to disclose important details, a European Commission

spokesperson told reporters during a daily briefing on Monday.

"All platforms in the EU even the smallest ones which are

below the threshold, which is the case for Bluesky,  have to

have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many

user numbers they have in the EU and where they are legally

established. This is not the case for Bluesky as of today," the

spokesperson said.

He also stated that since Bluesky falls below the threshold

and is not classified as a Very Large Platform under the EU's

Digital Services Act, the commission has not yet reached out to

the company. Instead, it has contacted the 27 national

governments to check "if they can find any trace of Bluesky."

Bluesky did not immediately respond to an emailed request

for comment.
