While photographing Gillian Welch tonight, Facebook's AI bot notified me it would not restore The Bloomingtonian’s page. It claims I'm pretending to be “a local or domestic voice.” Community members say Meta also refunded our 111 paying subscribers. No human review. Please subscribe on Patreon.
The suspension of our page is permanent without the possibility of review ... the death penalty by AI bot for the Bloomingtonian's Facebook page. Just saw this when I clicked on the page status this afternoon Saturday, July 18, 2026. I guess that's that for Facebook, we are done there.
