What a shitty click baity article. Not sure who should be more ashamed, the writer, the editor, or anyone who would share it.

Why? He was suspended minutes after posting.
Then he was unsuspended. The first suspension still happened.

You don’t think that the omission of the very relevant followup fact from the title is misleading, perhaps intentionally so, to someone only glancing at headlines?

People really need to understand that headlines are not the entire article.

Simply adding one word would have made the title much less misleading.
‘JD Vance gets briefly suspended from bluesky ‘just 12 minutes after first post’’
As it stands, it strongly implies that his first post caused him to get suspended, and that he’s still suspended now. I’m not even sure why this is considered newsworthy. Why did someone even bother writing this article? Answer is, I’d wager, because the headline makes it sound sensational when it’s in fact not, and it drives clicks.

It was an automated system to prevent impersonation accounts which the actual news article this was based off of mentioned.

Was he not suspended in 12 minutes?

Yes and there’s absolutely nothing news worthy about it unless you’re trying to deceive people for profit.
