+This is a follow up to the previous post about
+[Facebook taking down our page]({{<ref "post/facebook-takedown" >}}). It's a
+bit late as I've been busy with other things, so apologies for that.
+
+So on Wednesday August 9th I received an email from Facebook saying our page
+has been published again! Hooray!
+
+{{< figure alt="E-mail from Facebook saying our page has been published again." src="page-published.png" >}}
+
+So we're all done right? Yes, but there's an interesting story here and we've
+gotten the okay to talk about it, so lets do just that!
+
+As you may have noticed, Gary tried to find help with this all over. His blog,
+Facebook, X/Twitter, Mastodon, even LinkedIn among other methods. However, a
+retired Pidgin developer, Ethan, reached out to a contact he had at Meta and
+that's when things actually started happening.
+
+His contact let us know that the page got taken down because Meta had just
+started up a new AI model whose purpose is to help them find and take down
+pages posing as Meta properties. Since the title of our page is `Pidgin Instant
+Messenger` we got auto taken down by the AI due to the use of `Messenger` and
+was never looked at by a human reviewer.
+
+The contact went ahead and filed an internal appeal to the page being
+unpublished. Once reviewed by a human, it was very clear that we were not
+impersonating a Meta property, so Meta went ahead an republished the page. They
+also added our page to their seed set/corpus so it should not be taken down
+again in the future for impersonation.
+
+Luckily this story had a happy ending, but it seems like that only happened
+because we had contacts inside of Meta that could push things along. At any
+rate, this is a good case for showing that AI is only as good as its input.
