Space "Bitguy07/browser-automation-studio" incorrectly flagged as abusive — request review
Subject: Space “Bitguy07/browser-automation-studio” incorrectly flagged as abusive — request review
Hello Hugging Face Team,
My Space Bitguy07/browser-automation-studio is being automatically flagged as abusive and paused immediately after every successful build. The runtime API returns:
json
{
“stage”: “PAUSED”,
“errorMessage”: “Flagged as abusive”
}
What the project is
This is a personal learning/research project — a self-hosted AI browser automation platform. It lets me control a Chrome browser using natural language through a web UI or Telegram, powered by a local vision-language model (Qwen2.5-VL via Ollama).
It’s a single-user tool for my own use, not a service, not a proxy, and not a bot farm.
Why I believe it was flagged
I understand my tech stack contains components that may trigger automated abuse detection:
- Google Chrome + Xvfb — needed to run a real browser for AI-driven web automation (the core purpose of the project)
- x11vnc + noVNC + websockify — used to provide a live view of what the browser is doing, so I can watch the AI navigate pages in real-time
- Ollama — runs a local Qwen2.5-VL-7B model inside the container for vision-language inference
- Supervisord — orchestrates these processes with staggered startup to stay within free-tier memory limits
I am not :
- Running a crypto miner
- Reselling compute or remote desktop access
- Operating a scraping farm or bot network
- Tunneling traffic or proxying connections
- Violating any Hugging Face terms of service
What I’ve tried
- Verified the Docker build completes successfully (all layers cached)
- Confirmed the HEALTHCHECK returns 200 OK on
GET /health - Confirmed the root endpoint (
GET /) returns 200 OK - The Space transitions from
BUILDING→APP_STARTING→PAUSEDin approximately 3 seconds, with zero container logs — indicating the container is killed before any process can start - Installed diagnostic tooling (hf-flight-recorder-agent) which confirmed no metrics are collected before the pause
Request
Could you please review and unflag my Space? I’m happy to:
- Make the Space public if that helps with review
- Add any required disclaimers or documentation
- Modify the configuration if specific components are problematic
- Discuss the project’s purpose in more detail

Thank you for your time. I understand the need for abuse prevention and appreciate the free hosting — I just want to get my legitimate project running.
Best regards, Bitguy07
