Meta Faces Backlash for Suspending No Kings Instagram Account During Protests

Outrage erupted after Meta suspended the No Kings Instagram account on a significant day of protest against Trump, with accusations of censorship looming large. The tech giant claimed that the suspension was an error, yet the timing raised suspicions among activists who felt targeted. The No Kings Coalition demanded answers and expressed concern that such actions undermine free speech and voter mobilization efforts. Following substantial public pressure, Meta eventually restored the account, but the incident has sparked a wider discussion on the impact of Big Tech on grassroots movements.
