Bluesky Social suspends far-right ‘Libs of TikTok’ account

SEATTLE, WA — A profile under the handle ‘Libs of TikTok’ was suspended from rising social media platform Bluesky Social on Monday after users began reporting the account for alleged community standards violations.

Prior to the suspension, the account was reposting the same politically inflammatory content posted by an account with a similar handle on X. It’s unclear if the account on Bluesky Social was run by the same person managing the X account.

Within 9 days of the account actively posting on Bluesky, the profile became the second most blocked user on the platform according to numbers from a website called Clearsky.

The account was suspended from the platform on December 2.

How long does a Supreme Court decision take?
The time it takes to finalize an opinion depends on several factors, including how divided the Justices are, which justice is writing the opinion, and the court's schedule. Typically, all cases are decided by the time the court recesses for the summer at the end of June or the beginning of July.
