Instagram Changes Algorithm for Reshared Posts After Palestinian Complaints

Instagram has confirmed to the Financial Times that it's changing its algorithm to rank reshared posts in Stories on an equal level to originals after Palestinians accused the company of censoring content. A Facebook spokesperson told Engadget there was no intended censorship, and that the tweak was a response to overall problems with the reach of reshared content, not just Palestinian material.
