According to the latest report by Axios, Facebook is planning on cutting down political content, posts, and current events in the News Feed based on user feedback. The Big Tech company is also planning on running tests that include limiting political content that is displayed to its users on News Feeds outside the US as well.
Yet, it’s not known how Facebook will use this opportunity to decide which news to suppress.
This new direction by Facebook may potentially affect news outlets and publications that majorly depend on political news for viewership and ad-revenue.
While Facebook has been limiting the amount of political news it displayed to its users post the 2020 Presidential Election in the US, it has been at the receiving end of criticism for the amount of political “misinformation” present on the platform.
