On October 17, the account was suspended for just over an hour and could not be administered for over three hours. Meta cites activity roughly four times higher using a Claude tool, then apologized. Representatives Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin want a briefing on election security by November 9, 2026, while the coalition, with over 27,000 followers, asked eight questions.
