Meta周六表示，自动触发机制导致“国王不在”运动的Instagram账号在中期选举早期投票动员行动中被封禁。
Meta said Saturday that an automatic trigger is to blame for the No Kings movement's Instagram account being suspended in the midst of a nationwide effort to mobilize early voting in the midterms.
该网络自称非党派，但去年因应美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的行动而成立，称其账号在活动高峰期“失踪”数小时。
The network, which bills itself as nonpartisan but arose last year in response to President Donald Trump's actions, said its account went dark for "several hours" at the peak of its event.
“即使在可见性恢复后，我们数小时内也无法访问该账号，”该组织在其账号上发帖称。
"Even after visibility was restored, we had no access to the account for hours," the group posted on its account.
Meta发言人安迪·斯通在X上发表声明称，以“非常高频率”发布、分享或评论的账号可能会触发自动响应。“今天行动日前夕，No Kings的IG账号就是这种情况。不幸的是，该自动操作显然是误操作，”他在X上发帖称。“一切现在都按应有方式运作，我们诚挚道歉。”No Kings表示，它希望Meta提供更深入的解释。
In a statement on X, Meta spokesman Andy Stone said that accounts posting, sharing, or commenting at "very high frequencies" can prompt an automated response. "That's what happened with the No Kings IG account in the lead up to today's day of action. Unfortunately, that automated action was clearly taken in error," he said in an X post. "Everything is now working as it should and we sincerely apologize." No Kings said it wants a deeper explanation from Meta.
“在选举期间限制关于投票的沟通是不可接受的，”它在帖子中表示。
"Restricting communications about voting in the middle of an election is unacceptable," it said in its post.
“Meta必须为这次封禁负责，并立即采取措施确保这种情况不再发生——对任何账号都不例外，尤其是那些致力于告知选民并鼓励其参与民主进程的账号。”
"Meta must answer for this suspension and take immediate steps to ensure it never happens again — to any account, but especially those working to inform voters and encourage participation in our democracy."
该组织表示，它在全国举办了近3000场集会，鼓励选民提前投票，以防范任何可能削弱投票率的努力，这场选举将决定国会权力的平衡。
The group said it held nearly 3,000 rallies across the country to encourage voters to cast their ballots early as a hedge against any effort to undermine turnout in an election that will determine the balance of power in Congress.
