Meta suspended No Kings Coalition's Instagram account during midterm voting push
On October 17, Meta suspended the Instagram account of the No Kings Coalition for roughly four hours while nearly 3,000 events were underway nationwide to encourage early voting before the November 3 midterms. Meta first attributed the suspension to excessive posting activity, then a day later said its systems had flagged automated software using Claude AI scanning profiles and hashtags at four times normal speed. The account's visibility was restored after about 90 minutes, but organizers could not post again until 5:33pm Eastern.
