Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Threads, has announced a major shift in its approach to political content on its platforms. The move comes amid a broader trend of social media platforms grappling with the circulation of political discourse and misinformation.
The decision, stated by Meta executive Adam Mosseri, unveils a departure from actively recommending political content from accounts that users do not follow. Mosseri highlighted the company's intent to preserve user choice in engaging with political content while avoiding the proactive amplification of such material to a broader audience.
