Meta communications director Andy Stone has claimed:
> Due to a security error, links to the @KansasReflector were blocked for a period of time. The same security mistake prompted the blocking of links to @statesnewsroom and The Handbasket/@marisakabas2
> The incorrectly applied blocks have now been lifted from all three domains, but it does take time for our system to fully repopulate all the links.
> This is undoubtedly frustrating and we sincerely apologize to all who have been impacted. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Would be interesting to see a dive into what the "security error" was, especially since from what others are saying it blocked anything hosting the Meta-critical article text as opposed to a specific site. Possibly tripped some account phishing detector (due to mentions of Facebook combined with phrases like "red alert")?
