    I think that tech companies taking a stand on what their employees and/or users believe in is a reasonable thing.

    Idk what the employees of bluesky believe, but I’m fairly familiar with the bay area tech scene and I think that there is a decent chance that the employees would like to take a stand by not providing services to ICE.

    That being said, idk if simply allowing them to have an account is providing services. I think it’s probably better to have govt agencies have verified accounts so people know when things are official statements, even if you disagree with the agency.

      taking a stand on what their employees and/or users believe in is a reasonable thing.

      The majority of USA citizens voted for Trump. Why should Bluesky take a stand on what a minority believe in?

        Actually, less than a quarter of citizens voted for him. Less than a 3rd or registered voters.

        Not even half of a half of citizens said they wanted this.
