Meta apologizes for suspending ‘No Kings’ Instagram account, blaming bot traffic increase

Meta apologized for suspending the No Kings Instagram account during a nationwide early voting mobilization event. The activist group reported the account was shut down without explanation during Saturday activations, though visibility was later restored. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone stated that the company's engineering team identified a high volume of bot traffic as the cause. This spike triggered an incorrect enforcement action, leading to the hours-long suspension of the official No Kings social media page.
