Sky News Australia host Liz Storer fears Instagram’s new political censorship settings puts a “free and fair” 2024 US election at risk.
The popular social media app introduced a new limitation on political content, with users who do want to view such content having to go into their settings to opt in.
“Given we have a very important election this year, how many times do these guys have to be busted in the light of day before people cotton on whatever you see on your social media platforms has already been censored to the hilt,” Ms Storer said.

“It’s disgraceful, it’s disgusting.
“And we can’t say we have free and fair elections when we have these giants like Meta messing with what people can and can’t see.”
