Full interview: Woman’s Oakland County business social media accounts restored after AI mistake

A small business owner in Oakland County who spent over 17 years building her company had her social media accounts restored after one AI mistake. The West Bloomfield small business owner fought to regain access to her social media accounts after Meta wrongfully accused her of “child sexual exploitation.” “As a mom of two, this is disturbing,” Tan said when her accounts were taken down. “I don’t post anything other than fresh flowers, weddings, and behind-the-scenes.” Ching Tan, owner of Design Quintessentials, lost access to both her Instagram and Facebook accounts in June when Meta, the parent company of both platforms, disabled them without warning.
