Originally Published 2 years ago — by Deadline
Instagram boss Adam Mosseri clarifies that the social network will not actively promote politics and hard news on their platform, unlike Twitter. While acknowledging that such content will inevitably appear, Mosseri emphasizes that Instagram aims to create a less angry space for conversations and will not prioritize these topics due to the scrutiny, negativity, and integrity risks associated with them. Mosseri believes that there are already enough vibrant communities on Instagram, such as sports, music, fashion, beauty, and entertainment, without the need for politics or hard news.
