Ask HN: Looking for examples of false positives in automated systems

For an article I'm working on, I'm looking for good examples of big companies that created systems to auto-filter content or assets, where it's gone wrong and it severely affected small businesses who struggled to escalate the case to a human who could've reversed the decision.

Examples that come to mind:

- Raisup vs. Digital Ocean: https://blog.digitalocean.com/an-update-on-last-weeks-customer-shutdown-incident/
