Meta Platforms said on October 18 that Instagram mistakenly suspended the No Kings Coalition account during nationwide anti-Trump protests after Anthropic's Claude accessed related pages at about four times the normal rate, triggering the platform's automated security system. According to Sina Finance, Meta said the system treated the requests as suspected bot traffic; public access was restored after about an hour, but full administrator access did not return until 5:33 p.m. Saturday (U.S. Eastern Time). The coalition said nearly 3,000 events were held across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and that Instagram was an important channel for reaching supporters and sharing event information.
