Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account for several hours during the latest series of demonstrations on Saturday, meant to mobilize voters and encourage early voting in the midterms. Andy Stone, a company spokesperson, acknowledged an “incorrect enforcement” in a post Sunday, writing that the company’s systems detected “intense” activity by a Claude AI tool reading profiles and posts that the firm contended resembled automatic bot traffic, prompting an automatic trigger to shut down the account.

Right, bot traffic. Because all of their shit isn’t bot traffic anyway.

This is just like how recently TikTok accidentally shut down the musk doc account. Such accidental. Much accident.

What is a musk doc account?

There was a lemmy post about it just a day ago or so. I think it was an account promoting the Elon musk documentary, of which Elon is not a fan.
