Bluesky breaching rules around disclosure of information, says EU (www.ft.com)

[Bluesky] is in breach of EU regulations for not disclosing key details about the group [...] “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,”

The commission cannot regulate Bluesky directly as it does not yet reach the threshold of more than 45mn monthly users in the EU to be designated a very large online platform.

So, basically: it isn't there yet because it isn't necessary yet.

...as suspicious as I am of Bluesky, the title of the article is kind of misleading.

I feel like this is easily solved by decentralization. if only bluesy was decentralized.

Bluesky is too busy RP-ing as federated to be actually federated.
