 Twitter wasn’t banned because it was Twitter it was banned because the company wasn’t following local laws. Were those laws legit? That’s another question. If Bluesky responds to legal and law enforcement requests it’ll be allowed. 

I’m not saying it’s good to respond. In a past life I ran a network of websites which constantly was getting police attention, Indymedia.org, and we had the EFF represent us. We moved servers and domain name registration between countries on a regular basis to keep us from having to comply with government attempts at restricting speech. 

Until ATproto works as an open network, Bluesky will be more like Twitter in terms of governance than Nostr which is more like BitTorrent.
