New Settings In Instagram Censoring Political Content

[GromsDad]

Instagram added some new settings to help them keep you from seeing political content heading into the election.

On your account settings go to Content Preferences. The two new settings are "Political Content" and "Reduced By Fact Checking". By default they are set to limit you from seeing things like content mocking the dementia riddled incumbent.

Election interference in the name of eliminating election interference.

Once again this is not censorship. The government is not the one doing it.

You really are a special kind of stupid.

Why are you on Instagram? Truth Social is the social media you’re looking for.

I'm mainly on Instagram to post my surf photography and view other surf content.
I've never been on Truth Social. I bet you're on there though.

If you really want to be that misinformed (more than you are now), Truth Social, X and other failed social media await for you.

Its not a political platform and they dont want to be liable for misinformation.

You just don't want clips and memes of Biden to circulate.

Gromsdad thinking “this is censorship“ is the best thing since “this is how money laundering works.“

On IG if anyone I follow posts anything political I unfollow and block them from following me.

One strike and you’re out, even if I agree with the political opinion posted.

I‘ve had a few people approach me in person asking why I blocked them and I tell them. A couple of them got a second chance but they both blew it.

That’s election interference in gromsdad eyes.

you must be exposed to social media during the election cycle.

 

[manbearpig]

How gromsdad thinks the population should be exposed to politics during election cycles, very 1984-esque.
