The movement was flagged with high severity by AuditSocials' anomaly detector, which compares the 7-day calendar average with the 30-day baseline for each moderation category. The flagged figures relate to reports dated October 7, 2026.

The figures are counts of decisions the platform reports. A rise can reflect changes in reporting, not only changes in enforcement. The reports do not state a cause for the increase.
