Meta Global Bug Wrongly Locks Adult Accounts as 'Under 13'
Original: 帳號突遭鎖定「未滿 13 歲」？Meta 全球技術故障誤封大批成年使用者
A Meta technical failure in its age-verification system incorrectly suspended adult accounts across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
Meta experienced a global technical failure in its age-verification system, causing adult user accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads to be incorrectly flagged and suspended as belonging to users under 13. The incident stems from an enforcement mechanism tied to Meta's May 7, 2026 announcement of worldwide youth online-safety measures. Meta confirmed the issue is a global technical problem, not targeted at any specific region or demographic.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, confirmed a global technical incident in which its automated age-verification system incorrectly locked a significant number of adult user accounts under the classification of 'under 13 years old.' The wrongful suspensions affected users across multiple platforms simultaneously, generating widespread confusion and frustration among account holders who found themselves suddenly locked out despite being well above the minimum age threshold.
