Meta said the suspension of the No Kings account was a security-system error after a Claude-powered tool read Instagram profiles and posts at roughly four times the usual rate. Meta said an automated review restored the account about an hour later; the organization reported roughly 90 minutes without public access and a longer delay restoring administrator privileges. The account was restored, but the specific tool, operator, and collection purpose were not disclosed. The incident should not be expanded into proof of a Claude malfunction or politically motivated blocking.
