In a post on (where else?) Threads, Mosseri said the company will be shifting away from its opt-in requirement for users to see political content. Instead, political content will be recommended by default, and users will have the ability to adjust the fire hose with three different settings options: less, standard, and more.

In a move users are calling "embarrassing" and lacking "courage," Instagram and Threads head Adam Mosseri announced that the platforms will be recommending political content to users once again.

It’s been nearly a year since Instagram and Threads defaulted to blocking recommendations of “political” content from accounts you don’t already follow, but now Instagram boss Adam Mosseri says, “...we’re going to be adding political content to recommendations” on both platforms.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri argued that having political content on Threads comes with too many 'integrity risks.' But Meta's recent push to 'restore free expression' changes all that.
