If you’ve been accustomed to getting your Updike Society and John Updike Childhood Home news through Facebook, you might want to bookmark our webpages for future use instead. Yesterday Facebook suspended both sites because it was determined that they were guilty of celebrity “impersonation.” This, even after an appeal.
Seriously? A non-profit literary organization largely composed of academics, along with a museum that’s on the National Register of Historic Places and has a Pennsylvania Historic Marker?
Clearly, Facebook “Meta” is more omnipotent than it is omniscient. 
We were wondering what happened! My kids were waiting to find out who won the ornament contest and suddenly the pages just vanished! I hope you get your pages back soon
Yeah, it’s pretty tough to run a single-author museum without using the author’s name. But of course Meta can’t distinguish between fake celebrity sites and a legitimate museum. Our director started a new page. Search Updike Childhood Home on Facebook and bookmark the page. We’ll see how long we can operate before ignorant AI intrudes again.
