Email from Bluesky in the screenshot:

    Related to this, there’s a Google translate button at the top that reads, in Turkish, “translate to Turkish”

    Which could be evidence that the screenshot comes from somebody who speaks Turkish, which increases the chances that the person receiving the email is in Turkey.

    That doesn’t answer your question, but it suggests that Bluesky may only be honoring requests regarding accounts they believe are subject to the local laws.

    Two very important points:

    • This is proof of nothing
    • I personally will continue to use Mastodon instead of Bluesky
