Kevin Collier is a reporter covering cybersecurity, privacy and technology policy for NBC News.
Government censorship, scam accounts, celebrity impersonation, propaganda and a user revolt over a journalist accused of demonizing trans people — these are just some of the hurdles faced by the nascent social media platform Bluesky. But they’re also signs of its rapid growth since the election. As Bluesky attracts more activity, particularly from those fleeing Elon Musk’s X, it is facing the price of success: tough moderation decisions and a growing number of bad actors.
nonprofit GLAAD included Singal in its Accountability Project documenting “anti- rhetoric and discriminatory actions” by public figures. Singal’s presence on Bluesky, considered a hub for trans social media users, sparked a petition signed by over 25,000 people calling for his removal under the platform’s moderation policies. Singal is now the most blocked person on Bluesky. Bluesky didn’t address Singal explicitly in its response to the petition, but posted that it does not take down accounts based on activity off the platform.
