Whenever I visit Facebook now, I get the following message or suspension warning (note the link is from someone else's instagram account posted on reddit and I only link to it because it's the complete warning at a glance)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagram/comments/18bsjib/we_suspect_automated_behaviour_on_your_account/

I have no idea what they're talking about or why I'm suddenly getting the message. I originally assumed it was related to my VPN but apparently not.

Anybody else suddenly getting this warning or know what might be going on?

I can confirm I have already some experience with the fact of VPN usage being flagged as a high change of automated traffic (except it was TOR, which is pretty much identical in this context).

Discord put me a wealth of captcha, Wikipedia refused edition of pages (even with my account. Which IMO looks like an oversight). And many pages just had captchas even when not trying to log-in.
