What does Meta say about a series of Facebook groups being locked?

(Dan Tri) - Meta's spokesperson confirmed that a series of Facebook groups in Vietnam have been suspended due to technical problems.

“We are aware of a technical issue affecting some Facebook groups. We are working to fix this,” a Meta spokesperson told Dan Tri .

However, Meta did not reveal the detailed cause of this incident.

The above situation not only appeared in Vietnam but also affected many groups globally. According to TechCrunch , the above incident may have originated from Meta's enhanced AI moderation feature.

On the afternoon of June 24, a series of Facebook groups in Vietnam suddenly received the notification "We have suspended your group". This problem was recorded in many groups in different fields, such as shopping, entertainment, technology,...

By the morning of June 25, some groups had been unlocked and could operate again. However, many groups were still in a suspended state.

"We have received a response email from Meta. They said they will handle the problem as soon as possible," said Mr. Ngo Minh Hieu, administrator of several Facebook groups.

On the Reddit forum, administrators of Facebook groups affirm that they always comply with Meta's regulations and regularly censor content considered "sensitive".

Many people suspect the incident is related to Meta's application of AI in its automated moderation process (Photo: The Anh).

Many people even said that their Facebook groups only focus on harmless content such as saving tips, parenting support, groups for dog and cat owners, Pokémon groups, groups for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts...

Tellingly, these people still receive vague violation notices warning about “terrorism-related” or “nude photos” that they claim their group did not post.

In addition to Facebook and Instagram, social networks like Pinterest and Tumblr have also faced a series of complaints about account suspensions in recent weeks, leading many users to suspect that the use of AI in automated moderation processes is causing the problems.
