ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This exclusion eliminates some of the most significant categories of recoverable damages, meaning users cannot recover losses that flow indirectly from Bluesky's actions or failures even if those losses are substantial.

Interpretive note: The excerpt may contain additional excluded damage categories beyond those quoted; only those present in the excerpt are captured.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users cannot hold Bluesky or its affiliates liable for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages or the cost of finding substitute services.
