Yup, basically Singal is a right wing asshole with a history of defending pedos and anti-trans propaganda who masquerades a a journalist. And the libertarian techbros on the BS Trust&Safety team decided not to do anything to stop him from hurting their subscribers. It’s as simple as it is disgusting.

He’s claiming to have been given the records by the doctor because he is a “journalist” and they support his claim that pedophelia isn’t harmful to the kids, but gender affirming care is. Anyone whose data he may be sharing will have to prove harm from this in order to sue. It’s really f’ed up.
Jesse Singal joined Bluesky with the expressed intent to bring his Xitter followers and harass the trans population there. When the Bluesky users asked his account to be suspended or banned for their safety, the Bluesky Trust&Safety team basically said he had done nothing explicitly against guidelines on the site and that they would not do so. Even when shown direct evidence of him publishing medical records on the site without the patients' permission. Bluesky T&S basically nuked the goodwill they had been cultivating among marginalized communities.
Reports have been made to the “authorities”, but he keeps getting away with it because the right wingers agree with him and defend him. You have a strange amount of faith in a system that agrees with him and hates us.
