WTF? Threads is blocking links to the official website of France’s left coalition (Nouveau Front Populaire) in the upcoming snap legislative elections, nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr
My Threads post from last week has also silently been restored. (I didn't get any updates on my appeal) threads.net/@nileanedorffer/po…
Whatever hiccup in Meta's automated moderation mess that was, the fact that this happened in the middle of an election campaign and didn't prompt any kind of response from Meta is all sorts of messed up.
To my French followers: n’hésitez pas à taguer des journalistes qui pourraient couvrir cette dinguerie (surtout si c'est pas corrigé d'ici genre demain ou après-demain).

Yep, it seems the www. subdomain is required for that website to work. nouveaufrontpopulaire.fr
However, even that is blocked on Threads:

The left coalition's website is the only one that's blocked by Threads.

in reply to Niléane • • •FWIW, I posted a link to that website on Threads about a week ago, and it worked fine. threads.net/@nileanedorffer/po…
If they're indeed blocking this URL now, that happened in the last couple of days.

in reply to Niléane • • •WELP.
Threads just removed my post from last week which had a link to the left coalition's website.
I'm now locked out of my Threads account
What is going on right now???
