"Instagram Implements Default Limits on Political Content, Surprising Users"

Instagram quietly introduced a default setting to limit the reach of political content in users' feeds, prompting surprise and complaints from users who were unaware of the change. The platform rolled out the update in February without directly notifying users, leading to confusion and frustration. Users can adjust their content preferences in the settings menu to control the amount of political content they see, but the change has sparked concerns about its impact on political outreach and information dissemination, particularly during election seasons.
