Facebook’s sudden decision to restrict people in Australia from reading and sharing news on Thursday yielded an ironic consequence for the social media giant. 

According to multiple reports, Facebook accidentally restricted its own Facebook page on Thursday in Australia, before restoring it later in the day. An Australian journalist posted a screenshot on Twitter capturing the Facebook page in its limited state, showing a missing cover photo and a barren timeline with only the words “No posts yet.” Facebook didn’t respond to a CNET request for confirmation.
