周末期间,“无国王”联盟表示,Meta拒绝承诺采取措施,防止自动化系统在中期选举期间,若该页面活动激增,暂停Instagram上最知名的亲民主账号之一。
Over the weekend, the No Kings Coalition said Meta declined to commit to taking steps to prevent automated systems from suspending one of Instagram's most prominent pro-democracy accounts if activity surged around the page during the midterm elections.
这一要求是在Meta为暂时暂停“无国王”Instagram账号并在该组织早期投票推动高峰期禁用访问权长达四小时道歉后提出的。Meta的安迪·斯通在X上发帖称,该账号使用Claude AI工具的方式使其看起来像是一个机器人。但即使自动审查在一小时内检测到错误,斯通承认额外的障碍让管理员仍被锁在外面。州和联邦议员——以及14位州检察长组成的联盟——已要求Meta进一步解释其行为。
A demand for action came after Meta apologized for temporarily suspending the No Kings Instagram account and disabling access for four hours at the peak of an early voting push from the group. In a post on X, Meta’s Andy Stone said the account had been using a Claude AI tool in a way that made it appear to be a bot. But even though automated review detected the error within an hour, Stone acknowledged that additional hurdles kept admins locked out. State and federal lawmakers—as well as a coalition of 14 attorneys general—have asked Meta to further explain its actions.
在致“无国王”的信中,Meta提出安排与一位技术专家会面,以更好地解释该错误。但“无国王”拒绝了这一回应,称其未能解决该组织任何持续的担忧,并要求与Meta高层领导会面。该组织强调,问题已超出其Instagram账号本身,依赖Meta平台的美国人需要保证,投票相关内容不会在选举日前或当天被压制。在八个问题中,该联盟要求Meta公开披露与特朗普政府关于“无国王”账号或历史性早期投票日活动的任何通信。
In a letter to No Kings, Meta offered to arrange a meeting with a technical expert who could better explain the mistake. But No Kings rejected the response, saying it failed to address any of the group's ongoing concerns and requesting a meeting with Meta senior leadership instead. The group stressed that the issue goes beyond its Instagram account, saying that Americans who rely on Meta's platforms need assurance that voting content won’t be suppressed ahead of or on election day. Among eight questions, the coalition asked Meta to publicly disclose any communications with the Trump administration about the No Kings account or the historic early voting day event.
