The No Kings people have an Instagram account. Yesterday, during their latest day of protest, Meta shut the account down.
Why? Marky Mark obeying Trump? No…something else.
“[Meta’s Andy] Stone cited the ‘high volume’ of reading profiles, posts and hashtags in ‘intense bursts’ on Saturday caused their AI tool to detect the activity as automated bot traffic.”
My one word reaction: DUH.
When an organization is holding a very public event, and when a lot of online traffic is bot traffic, such “intense bursts” are to be expected.
What’s next? Shutting down the NFL website during the Super Bowl?
Be like the Philadelphia Police, not the U.S. military.
I would hate to market Muse right now.
