"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."

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

Vice President J.D. Vance trolled the transgender community in his first Bluesky posts and was soon the most blocked account on the site.
