Pinterest users left confused by mass account suspensions
1 min read
Summary
Reports have emerged across social media platforms of extensive moderation problems at Pinterest, including mass pin removals and sudden account suspensions.
Users have complained that they have not received any warning or explanation about the bans and the company has reportedly not responded to appeals.
Many claim that the Pins they saved are being removed with what they view as absurd explanations.
One user said: “I got suspended without [knowing] why; I don’t post and the only things I save are related to makeup, hair, fashion, and beauty.”
Many links to external sites are being flagged as unsafe by Pinterest and being automatically deleted, and the company is reportedly refusing to communicate why these deletions are taking place.
