Bluesky worries the EU. Hunt for traffic data on the new social network

How many users are there monthly and where do they have it a physical location the new social network what is depopulating? Bluesky ends up in the sights of the European Commission, after many were disappointed by X, the platform born as Twitter and then radically transformed when it came under the aegis of Elon Musk.

The new social network has recorded important numbers and like any company that offers services in the EU, devand inform your legal representative in the EU and publish monthly user figures per month, in accordance with European Digital Services Law. Which the platform hasn’t done so far.

The case was submitted by the Brussels offices to the national authorities of twenty-seven countries who join the EU. Everyone will have to report figures and data relating to the social network, as explained by the spokesperson of the EU executive for the Internal Market, Thomas Regnier. The European Commission will contact Bluesky if national authorities do not provide the information, the spokesperson said.

The Digital Services Act obliges Internet companies to combat illegal content, protect victims from harassment and intimidation and to provide a special protection for minorsia and those responsible for monitoring compliance vary depending on whether Brussels designates them as a large platform or not.

This is the case if they have more than 45 million users per month, in which case it is the responsibility of the Commission to monitor rather than the national authorities.
