Mark Zuckerberg's Instagram is limiting users' exposure to "Political content" ahead of the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Instagram had already imposed a requirement to "Opt-in" to seeing political content, described in the app as content "Likely to mention governments, elections or social topics that affect a group of people and/or society at large," from users they do not follow.
Now, the app restores political content limits every time users exit the app, requiring them to opt back in again through an obtuse series of menus.
A spokesman for Instagram parent company Meta claims users who have previously opted in to political content being opted back out again is an "Error," and the platform is "Working on getting it fixed." However, users were still being opted out of political content each time they exit the app as of the time of writing, 9:55 AM EST. NEWSLETTER Need to Know.
Zuckerberg and his platforms, principally Facebook, Instagram, and failing X rival Threads, have been accused of election interference for many years.
The schemes overwhelmingly benefit Democratic-leaning areas, with election integrity groups arguing they grant leftists greater voting access than conservatives and are unlawful.
The CTCL is already intervening in this year's election, directing election officials on how to use public money to "Improve election operations."Facebook has also censored Americans at the Biden regime's direction, particularly on the question of vaccine safety.
