Leftist anti-free speech haven Bluesky, which claims to prioritize a “pleasant experience” for users, banned the vice president of the United States almost immediately after he created his account.
On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance postedon X, “Just set up my page on @bluesky, hope to see you guys there!” Multiple accounts, including the New York Post, Axios reporter Marc Caputo, and Libs of TikTok, subsequently reported that Vance was suspended on the platform only about “12” to “20 minutes” after he launched his account. MRC confirmed the account has been restored as of Thursday morning.
”Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts which have targeted public figures like him in the past,” Bluesky told Newsweek. “The account was quickly restored and verified so people can easily confirm its authenticity.”
