On FB, I can delete friend requests and I generally post "Friends Only" (actually, "Only Me" and then later I decide whether to make it Friends Only or just delete, or rarely Public), so I don't attract the bots much.

Postcard showing a shorthaired tabby cat, and a shorthaired, white and tabby cat in the center of the card, face-to-face. Both of them have cigarettes or cigarillos, and one of them is lighting theirs from the lit end of the other. The background is a vibrant, cherry red, and there is a shorthaired tabby cat with a parasol walking past in the background.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting
Pool is being refilled as the National Park Service and contractors put the final touches on a historic effort to clean, repair, and beautify this iconic national landmark. As part of the normal refilling process, the water may temporarily appear cloudy before clearing. The Reflecting Pool will once again stand as a fitting reflection of the beauty, dignity, and grandeur of the Lincoln Memorial and our nation's capital.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.
The No Kings Instagram account has been reactivated, but administrators have not yet regained access.

We now know that Meta pulled down the account. For approximately 90 minutes, Meta did not respond to our team, even as the account was offline at the peak of our national day of action and livestream. The account is now viewable again, and Meta told us in their response email that they made a bad call.

However, administrators are still unable to access the account, blocking our ability to post about an ongoing day of mass action for early voting. Meta is currently not allowing the team to log in using the No Kings email address originally associated with the account. The team is troubleshooting that issue now.
This is not OK.

This is part of a much bigger concern: activists and movements around the world are increasingly vulnerable to decisions made by powerful technology platforms that can determine who gets heard and who gets silenced.

We will close the loop once our team is fully back in the account. This remains a developing situation.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish
Post from Ezra Levin:

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.

Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
3:02 PM · Oct 17, 2026

TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. The move, which comes just as the Alex Gibney’s investigation into Elon Musk expands to more than 470 screens across North America, raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.
