In Opinion “For all its flaws, Title IX and the disciplinary procedures it requires colleges to undertake are necessary,” Emily Bazelon writes. “Without them, allegations like Jane Doe’s would be entirely in the hands of police and prosecutors to address, and that option is often worse.”

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.
