The Washington Post

A new change to your Instagram settings may keep you from seeing content from The Washington Post and other news organizations and creators. Instagram has stopped “proactively” recommending political content posted on accounts that users don’t choose to follow. To do that, Instagram has automatically set the “political content” control to “limit” on user accounts. The limits also affect users with Threads accounts tied to their Instagram accounts. The change has triggered an uproar among some users who feel as if Instagram is unnecessarily limiting political discourse in a year that pivotal elections are being held in U.S. and other countries. Here’s how to get around Instagram’s political limits in just a few steps.
