If you were to ask me to speculate... I&#x27;d suggest this may have something to do with impeding botting (possibly slowing down the massreporting&#x2F;massflagging of twit&#x2F;fb&#x2F;ig pages)<p>There did used to be users on twitter who&#x27;d regularly &#x27;call out&#x27; (yes, those types of people) a FB page or IG and it would go down within minutes from what was obviously a ridiculously sized bot attack.<p>One of the most prolific offenders vanished within minutes after the platform buyout, which was splendid to see.
