Bluesky's automated impersonation detection system took down JD Vance's new account, but it was restored soon after.

"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 said in its statement. "The account was quickly restored and verified so people can easily confirm its authenticity."

U.S. Vice President JD Vance decided to join Bluesky, only to be abruptly suspended, according to news reports. Vance made a big deal about his decision to get an account on what has become known as a more liberal competitor to Elon Musk's X network.
