On the morning of June 25th, many groups on the social media platform Facebook resumed operation after being inexplicably shut down the previous evening. Administrators also regained control and were able to perform activities such as moderating posts as usual.
A representative from Meta (Facebook's parent company) has responded to the technical issue affecting several Facebook groups on June 24th. A Meta spokesperson stated: “We are aware of the technical issue that affected some Facebook groups. We are currently working to resolve this issue.”
In a message sent to administrators after restoring the group, Facebook stated: "We discovered that the technology mistakenly added restrictions to your account." The message also added that the reason for this "caution" was to maintain a safe and respectful community.

However, the names of some groups are still in a "Group title pending" state and cannot be restored. According to regulations, the group name can only be changed after 28 days. The keyword "Group title pending" has also become a trending topic on Facebook, as many groups have inadvertently shared the same name.

On his personal Facebook page, cybersecurity expert Ngo Minh Hieu (Hieu PC - Anti-Fraud Project) stated that many malicious actors may be exploiting Facebook's vulnerabilities to report groups and fan pages as inactive, then offering services to revive them. Therefore, administrators need to be vigilant against this tactic to avoid the risk of losing money and suffering consequences.
