HUNDREDS OF CREATORS SIGN LETTER SLAMMING META’S LIMIT ON POLITICAL CONTENT

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Since March, Instagram and Threads have instituted a new default setting that limits political content you see from people you’re not following. Hundreds of creators, convened by GLAAD and Accountable Tech, have signed an open letter demanding that Instagram make the political content limit an opt-in feature, rather than on by default. Instagram describes political content as anything related to laws, elections, or social topics. For political creators, these limits impact their livelihood since they make it harder for them to reach new audiences.
