Bluesky Faces User Backlash Over Jesse Singal Controversy
Bluesky, a social media platform with 25 million users, is facing pressure to ban writer Jesse Singal due to his controversial views on transgender issues, which many users find harmful. Singal, who has been heavily blocked and reported by the community, is accused of harassment and sharing private information. A Change.org petition with over 18,000 signatures, including singer Lizzo's, calls for his removal. Bluesky's decision on this matter could impact its reputation as a safe space and its user base, while also attracting scrutiny from regulatory figures.
