San Francisco author and activist Rebecca Solnit reported her account on Meta’s social media network was suspended in a post to Bluesky on Tuesday, June 10, adding that she was soon told the decision was permanent.
But less than 24 hours later, the account was reinstated after a Meta spokesperson said the suspension had been made in error.
On Tuesday, Solnit wrote, “Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).”
I wonder if they reversed it only because she could post about it on Bluesky?
Or was just semi-famous in general. Some peon caught up in their shitty AI/shitty moderators wouldn’t generate news stories or have reach elsewhere. Certainly there are plenty of examples of just how bad FB moderation is, with reviews rarely fixing the problem.
