Meta: Dense Access by Claude-Related Tools Triggered Security System, Resulting in Erroneous Instagram Account Ban

Meta stated that tools used by Anthropic's Claude performed dense access to Instagram profiles, posts, and hashtags at a frequency approximately four times the normal level, triggering the automated security system and leading to the erroneous deactivation of the account belonging to the U.S.-based "No Kings" organization. Meta noted that the account was restored by automated moderation after roughly one hour, but the restoration of administrative permissions took longer, and apologized for the error. Meta did not specify which exact Claude tool was involved, who was operating it, or its relationship to the account.
