Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have lost over 119 million followers, bringing down his follower count to below 10,000. Several Facebook users are also complaining about losing the majority of their followers on the social media platform due to unknown reasons.
Prominent author Taslima Nasreen also lost thousands of Facebook followers due to the glitch. “Facebook created a tsunami that wiped away my almost 900,000 followers and left only 9000 something on the shore. I kind of like Facebook’s comedy”: she tweeted.
Following the complaints, Meta was quick to acknowledge the error but didn’t give any explanation about when the error happened. A Meta spokesperson said, “We’re aware that some people are seeing inconsistent follower count on their Facebook profiles. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Meta was recently added to the list of “terrorists and extremists” by Russia’s financial monitoring agency Rosfin monitoring which said that Meta was allowing posts that called for violence against the Russian military in Ukraine. Zuckerberg was already banned from entering Russia as part of restrictions imposed by the Kremlin on several American citizens including US Vice President Kamala Harris and CEO of LinkedIn Ryan Roslansky.
