Meta, the company behind social media giants like Instagram and Threads, is making significant changes to its platforms in response to new EU legislation aimed at creating a fairer digital economy. These changes will directly impact the type of content users see on these apps, particularly political content.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you need to know about Meta\u2019s upcoming changes for Instagram and Threads:<\/p>\n
\u2013 No more recommended political content: Meta has decided to stop proactively amplifying political content from accounts that users don\u2019t follow. This means that while you will still see political content from the accounts you already follow, you won\u2019t be suggested political content from accounts that are not part of your following list.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Improving recommendation surfaces: Over the next few weeks, Meta will be improving how it avoids recommending political content on Explore, Reels, and Suggested Users across both Instagram and Threads.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Content visibility: While Meta will stop recommending political content, users will still have the option to view this type of content if they choose. These changes will only apply to public accounts and only in places where Instagram and Threads recommend content.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, these changes are part of Meta\u2019s efforts to create a more balanced and less politically charged social media experience for its users. While some may miss having political content recommended to them, others may appreciate a break from such divisive topics on their feeds. Stay tuned for these updates as they roll out in the coming weeks!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
