Bluesky Blocks Links to Leaked DHS Employee Records

Original: Bluesky Is Blocking Links to a Major Leak of DHS Employee Records

Bluesky has confirmed to WIRED that it is blocking links to a leaked archive containing information on roughly 41,000 employees of ICE, CBP, and other Department of Homeland Security agencies. The platform says the archive includes workers' contact information shared without their authorization. The decision is drawing debate over where platforms should draw the line between stopping doxxing and restricting material of public interest.

Why now: The leak of sensitive federal employee data and the platform's censorship decision both raise fresh concerns about privacy, immigration enforcement, and content moderation.
