On Saturday, in the middle of a national day of action with more than 3,000 voter mobilization events, Meta took down No Kings’ Instagram account. It took 90 minutes—and escalating public outcry—for Meta to restore public access, and four hours before No Kings was able to post again. #NoKings #Meta

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Meta claims this was an error, but this is too significant & concerning to just take their word for it. To ensure that a similar incident doesn't happen again, Meta must provide a detailed & public explanation of the steps it will take to prevent any future "errors" of this magnitude from occurring.

So why is No Kings using those platforms?
