Instagram and Threads will no longer recommend political content

Meta will no longer recommend political content to users on Instagram or Threads unless users opt-in to a new setting.

“These global issues are complex and dynamic, which means this definition will evolve as we continue to engage with the people and communities who use our platforms and external experts to refine our approach.” “Our goal is to preserve the ability for people to choose to interact with political content, while respecting each person’s appetite for it,” Mosseri said. The company blocks “potentially sensitive” topics, including vaccine and covid-related terms, from search results in Threads.
