They answer that in the link. Brit one only applies to specific content not site wide. Our ban is site wide. So it's a reasonable question.

* Bluesky How This Differs From Our Approach in Other Places Mississippi's new law and the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA) are very different. Bluesky follows the OSA in the UK. There, Bluesky is still accessible for everyone, age checks are required only for accessing certain content and features, and Bluesky does not know and does not track which UK users are under 18. Mississippi's law, by contrast, would block everyone from accessing the site-teens and adults—unless they hand over sensitive information, and once they do, the law in Mississippi requires Bluesky to keep track of which users are children.

Hate the way our Government wants so badly to keep us safe, except from all the things that are really hurting us and our kids future.

Yikes - very reasonable question. Have no idea of why more people weren’t alarmed by this from the beginning.
