Instagram’s Mosseri: Threads’ blocking of ‘Covid’ temporary, TechCrunch reports

Instagram head Adam Mosseri says Threads blocking health-related search terms like “Covid” and “vaccines” is temporary and will be lifted in “weeks or months,” TechCrunch’s Sarah Perez reports. He cited the current situation in Gaza as the more pressing focus right now in terms of managing content, and detailed other projects that Instagram has prioritized before unblocking Covid-related terms. “The biggest safety focus right now is managing content responsibly given the war in Israel in Gaza. The broader team is working on deeper integrations into Instagram and Facebook, graph building, EU compliance, Fediverse support, trending, and generally making sure Threads continues to grow,” he added.
