Instagram Will Demote and Label Russian State Media Posts
Instagram will start to label posts from Russian state media with a warning, ranking them lower and making them harder to find on the app worldwide.
Before users share content from Russian state media such as RT or Sputnik, Meta Platforms Inc.’s Instagram will pop up a warning that says: “Instagram believes the account that created this post may be partially or wholly under the editorial control of the Russian government,” after which a user can “learn more,” “go back” or “continue” to share the content.
