so apparently, bluesky has started honoring government takedown requests from turkish government. i wonder what the nature of measures taken are. do the accounts or the content get taken down or do they get geofenced, @jay.bsky.team ?

Does that mean if I post something critical of the Russian military Bluesky will suspend my account or reveal my personal info?

can't answer for russia (US sanctions might affect compliance levels), but for country X, if there's a regional labeler for that country (for russia, it's @moderation-ru.bsky.app), it can label you or your content as problematic. in that case, users from that country won't see you or your content.

Can't we set up a country (like Sealand or something made up) that is free from restrictions and tell our bsky clients we are from that geo?

you can just use a VPN software to trick the client. but even that is too much friction for a regular person. also, it’s always possible for governments to ban VPNs at protocol level at some point.
