Summary

Bluesky is blocking users from opening links to a newly leaked archive of records on more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security employees and contractors, and labels the pages “malicious.” The files include people’s email addresses and phone numbers, “shared without their authorization,” Bluesky tells WIRED, in violation of its community guidelines . The company says it chose to block the links, rather than remove individual posts, “to avoid limiting public discussion or restricting broader access to reporting and commentary.”
