VP JD Vance's new Bluesky account 'suspended' just 10 minutes after launch
JD Vance celebrated joining Bluesky on X - but his account almost immediately appeared to be suspended and replaced with a "not found, account suspended" message
Vice President JD Vance's Bluesky account suddenly faced suspension, a mere ten minutes after he jubilantly announced its activation.
The proactive advocate for online free speech, Vance broadcasted on his X profile his venture into Bluesky - a burgeoning adversary to X, the latter gaining the stamp of approval from the left-leaning online community as a sanctuary post its acquisition by Trump's mate and tycoon Elon Musk.
On his X feed, Vance posted: "Just set up my page on @bluesky, hope to see you guys there!".
Yet, Politico's Ben Jacobs discovered the fresh account seemingly axed, replaced by a stark "Not found, account suspended" message.
Jacobs' followers didn't delay their chortles:, reports the Express.
Robert Beatey chimed in, " That deserves a Senate Hearing" paired with an emoji in stitches.
Constellation Finder tossed in, "Wow, already? Wonder what happened. @JamesWolniecz would probably have some wild theories about this."
Crowds swarmed Vance's original announcement, bringing waves of commentary.
Marelda remarked "Already the account has been suspended, damn that was quick."
Nick Sortor updated, "UPDATE: BlueCry banned the sitting VP for hurting their feelings."
Reports suggest Vance's Bluesky presence has made a comeback since the disruption.
Vance remains a headline regular with his vociferous crusade for unbridled speech rights, staunchly supporting the expression of edgy views.
The 'Hillbilly Elegy' writer has sounded the alarm on an escalating menace to civil liberties in the US, alleging that political bigwigs are quashing open discussion.
Vance has taken a swipe at social media behemoths and business magnates for what he perceives as the muzzling of right-wing viewpoints.
His vigorous championing of the First Amendment has garnered him accolades as well as criticism, yet the Ohio senator remains steadfast that freedom of speech is "a cornerstone of democracy" that needs safeguarding, no matter one's political leanings.
