Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...

3/ To be clear, Bluesky's systems were not breached. Individual user accounts were compromised, likely via credentials leaked in data breaches. Our detection and remediations are fast: most are actioned within hours of their first post. Posts averaged 50 views before takedown. 3/4

Compromising real accounts to spread propaganda is a tactic these actors have used elsewhere for years, but this is the first time we've seen them attempt it on Bluesky. The accounts accessed were mostly older and dormant, though some active accounts were affected too. 2/4

Bluesky Safety @safety.bsky.app · 13/02/2026

The issue stemmed from a connector between our moderation tool and automation system. After a restart, it failed to resume from the correct point and replayed past events - as far back as 2024. 4/5

Bluesky Safety @safety.bsky.app · 13/02/2026

Once confirmed, we disabled the affected automated rules and began a root cause analysis. Engineering fixed the issue, and we removed all incorrect labels within two hours from detection. No accounts were suspended or taken down due to this error. 3/5

Bluesky Safety @safety.bsky.app · 13/02/2026

A system failure caused older moderation events to be reprocessed as if they were new. This triggered account-level review labels, even though no recent activity had occurred. We identified this after investigating a user report. 2/5

An error caused a large number of accounts to be incorrectly "marked for review" by our automated system. This tool is normally used to rapidly respond to mass harassment and spam campaigns. We have removed the incorrect labels and will publish an incident report in the coming days.

For each label, you can choose whether content is shown, shown with a warning, or hidden by default. To turn on graphic content, you’d first have to enable adult content. There are additional settings in the Bluesky Moderation Service for advanced labels. 2/2

Screenshot of the Bluesky web app’s Moderation settings page. It shows content filters with an “Enable adult content” toggle turned on, and multiple categories—Adult Content, Sexually Suggestive, Graphic Media, and Non-sexual Nudity—each with options to Show, Warn (selected), or Hide. Below is an “Advanced” section with the official Bluesky Moderation Service and additional labels that can be toggled.
