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.

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.

Under Meta’s ‘More Speech and Fewer Mistakes’ moderation overhaul, the Instagram boss says their default settings will reset to enable recommendations of political content from people you don’t follow.
