Pinterest users left confused by mass account suspensions
Briefly

Pinterest is facing complaints from users regarding unjust account suspensions and mass removal of pins. A notable presence on social media platforms indicates that affected individuals received no warnings or explanations. Many suspended users have taken to the r/Pinterest subreddit to express their confusion over how they violated guidelines. Content flagged as adult, including quilting magazines and Minecraft crafts, has drawn particular ire. Pinterest acknowledged the situation, citing increased moderation activity but only provided automated responses to appeals, leading to speculation about an AI moderation system.
I got suspended without getting to know why, I don't post and the only things I save are related to makeup, hair, fashion, beauty and stuff like that, definitely nothing worth getting suspended over!
We hear your concerns about recent account deactivations on Pinterest. To ensure Pinterest remains a safe and positive platform, we continuously monitor for content that violates our Community Guidelines.
Pinterest allows users to appeal suspensions, but is reportedly issuing notifications saying that it can't provide a timeline for the appeals as 'our team is experiencing a higher volume of requests than usual.'
