JD Vance Bluesky Account Suspension

Vice President Vance's Brief Ban on Bluesky

U.S. Vice President JD Vance experienced a temporary suspension upon joining the Bluesky social network on Wednesday evening.

The account was swiftly reinstated, with Bluesky attributing the initial ban to a false positive from its impersonation detection system.

According to a statement provided to TechCrunch, Bluesky’s automated systems flagged Vance’s account as a potential impersonation attempt.

This system has previously identified similar threats targeting other prominent public figures.

The account was promptly restored and verified to ensure users could readily confirm its legitimacy.

A Bluesky spokesperson expressed their welcome to Vice President Vance as he participates in discussions on the platform.

The network is pleased to have him contribute to the conversation.

Vice President Vance’s inaugural post on Bluesky addressed the Supreme Court’s ruling concerning a Tennessee law.

The law in question restricts access to gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
