Bluesky has entered the chat. A spokesperson for the social media platform has explained why JD Vance was suspended from the platform shortly after joining on Wednesday, telling the Daily Beast: “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. The account was quickly restored and verified so people can easily confirm its authenticity. We welcome the Vice President to join the conversation on Bluesky.” Vance joined the site with a post touting a new Supreme Court ruling upholding a Tennessee law prohibiting some medical treatments for transgender youths. He seemed to troll users of the site—which hosts many left-leaning figures who departed Elon Musk’s X—by writing, “I’ve been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I’m thrilled to be here to engage with all of you.” His fleeting suspension led to attacks from the MAGA base, who accused the platform of liberal bias and censorship.
