Meta takes first steps to reduce politics on Instagram feed
Meta says it has started the process of limiting the political content users see on their newsfeeds. The rollout happened quietly, as users noticed their default settings had been changed to limit content that mentions government, elections or certain social topics. Users now have to go into their settings to opt out of these changes if they'd like to keep their feeds as is. Earlier this year, Meta said Instagram would stop recommending political content from accounts that users don't already follow. KTVU's Alex Savidge and Heather Holmes discuss the changes and what comes next with Subramaniam Vincent, Director of Journalism and Media Ethics at Santa Clara University.
