Meta throttles the distribution of political content on Instagram and threads. This move aims to limit algorithmic promotion of posts about laws, elections or social issues.
Users who follow specific accounts will still see the content they want. Professional users on Instagram in particular have the opportunity to check their account status to see whether their content falls under the new regulation. Meta also offers the option to object to this assessment or to delete or edit affected posts. Taking a break from political posts may also result in the posts being considered for recommendations again.
