Meta mandates political content visibility on Instagram and Threads

Credited from: BBC

  • Meta has enforced a policy change requiring users of Instagram and Threads to view political content from accounts they do not follow.
  • The decision aligns with Meta's push for 'free expression', moving away from previous content moderation strategies.
  • Users can select among three content settings—less, standard, or more—but cannot opt out of political posts.
  • Critics argue the change may spread misinformation rapidly across the platforms, posing risks to users.
  • Meta's head, Adam Mosseri, acknowledges the shift while addressing concerns about the potential negative impact on marginalized communities.
