From what I can tell, the official client is the *only* one that enforces local moderation services. Presumably it’s as a way to place nice with foreign governments and stay in app stores, as they must realize how easy it is to circumvent.

on the official Bluesky app, they collect your country location data (just from IP, not GPS or anything) and then use that to apply certain labels for moderation, but any other app could choose to bypass this.
