After outcry, Meta reverses suspension of The Stud's Instagram page:

Meta Platforms initially suspended its Instagram account after the bar said bad actors flagged old posts with false charges of "human trafficking," striking down a crucial marketing stream ahead of Sunday's Dore Alley street fair. [...]

"We relied on the page because it combined marketing, ticketing, and communications with clients and performers," Ryan said. "To have that taken away with just a moment's notice ... I can't even describe it."

Nowhere in this article does anyone even consider: "Perhaps we should rely less on Nazi Bars for our critical business functions somewhat".

"The account has been restored," said Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold in an email late Saturday. He did not say why the account was initially suspended.

Another co-owner of the Stud is Honey Mahogany, an activist, drag performer and the director of San Francisco's Office of Transgender Initiatives. In a Friday personal video posted to Instagram, Mahogany called on Meta to reverse the decision. [...]

"[blah blah blah]," said state Sen. Scott Wiener in a post on X on Saturday. "Meta should reverse this ban immediately."

District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey also took to X to tell Meta to restore the bar's page. "I'm glad it's back up," said Dorsey upon hearing of Meta's reversal.

"Dorsey took to X to tell Meta." Uh huh. "Wiener post on X." Uh huh. "Mahogany posted on Instagram." Uh huh.

Nowhere in this article does anyone even consider: "Perhaps local politicians should rely less on Nazi Bars for our critical government communications somewhat".

(Yes, my business also uses Facebook and Instagram somewhat. "Curious!")
