Threads was launched as a social media platform for community and positive sharing. It is not a place to get news or political content. However, Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that Meta’s platform is for free speech – Threads will soon be undergoing changes.
Starting in the United States, Threads will start suggesting political content. Content will also be displayed from accounts that users do not follow. Adam Mosseri said that in Treads, there will also be content display controls such as less, standard, default or more.
Mosseri himself is not a fan of this change, but many users want this feature to be included. He also realized that it is very impractical to set limits on what is political content and what is not.
This change will also be affected by users around the world in stages. Don’t worry, content controls can be done so that your timeline is not flooded with political content and toxic comments.
