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).”

    It makes sense for a public figure trying to reach people. It won’t work because of the algorithm ™, but I can understand still wanting to try.

      Yeah I think that’s a valid if highly flawed reason.

      You could just buy advertising on it for that though.
