Meta apologizes for mistakenly blocking links to local news sites.
Meta briefly blocked links to The Kansas Reflector, News From The States, and The Handbasket due to a “security error,” spokesperson Andy Stone said. The Handbasket writer Marisa Kabas says Meta wouldn’t give further details about the blocks or send a follow up notice to users who saw a security warning.
Reflector readers noticed they were unable to share an op-ed critical of Facebook published Thursday. On Friday, The Verge was able to replicate the “Link not allowed” error on Threads, though other Reflector links could post.
