On Friday, Kabas’s post was blocked for several hours on all Meta platforms. She added that all of the links to her website were banned for around two hours. She reported that, by Friday afternoon, all of her connections had been restored.

The Handbasket and the nonprofit news aggregator site News From The States were also inadvertently disabled, according to Stone, who claimed in a Threads post on Friday that the prohibited links were “due to a security error.”

He wrote, “The blocks that were applied incorrectly have now been lifted.” “To everyone who has been affected, we sincerely apologize. We understand how frustrating this is.”

When CNN asked Stone to provide more information regarding the security issue, Stone didn’t respond right away.
