Bluesky chief doesn't know age limit for users Jay Graber wrongly said you needed to be 18 to use Bluesky, when the actual age limit is 13.

To be clear – whether he says the age limit is 18 or 13, there is currently NO age limit because anyone who can use a computer can sign up and access the content provided they enter an age over 13. What's to stop them?

As it's for public benefit, they could provide it for free for startups, and at a much lower rate than is currently available for larger companies.

The other issue is privacy – users would be understandably nervous about sharing sensitive data (e.g. photos of their passport or driving license) with a service they don't recognise. Age verification should be centralised – and governments are best placed to provide this.

Social media platforms could use an existing service (LinkedIn uses CLEAR, OnlyFans uses Yoti) but they can be super expensive – fine if your users are paying for a subscription, harder to fund if they're not.

Young people are able to access adult content on social media platforms because they lie about their age when signing up. If platforms verified ages, they could stop this – but age verification is expensive. The solution is for governments to provide their own age verification services.

The problem with employer's National Insurance is that it's a tax on expenditure rather than profit, and so adversely affects businesses with the highest costs relative to their revenue. Surely it's better to tax profit rather than expenditure? #budget2024
