Meta Limits Political Content on Instagram and Facebook
Meta has implemented a new default setting on Instagram and Facebook to restrict the visibility of political content. This decision follows concerns over data privacy, election influence, and social media addiction. Jay Caspian King, a staff writer at The New Yorker, acknowledges these worries but also defends social media access as a First Amendment right.
