The Politics of Instagram | MiniPod

Welcome home! 

On this MiniPod, hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross take a look at a big change on Instagram. There’s a new default setting in Instagram that limits the amount of “political content” that you see in your feed. That includes posts from Native Land Pod! Instagram’s parent company, Meta, claims it’s to stop users from seeing misinformation. But is that possible without also blocking us from important and educational content? 

You can turn off this new default setting by following the instructions in this tutorial video.
