Nevertheless, despite the repression and arrests, students continue to protest daily and refuse to abandon the encampments. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said that “no encampments will be allowed,” yet those encampments remain.

Meta is now internationally limiting the political content you can see on their platforms. Here’s a quick guide on how to stop Instagram and Threads from deciding what shows up on your feed.
What Meta considers to be “political content” remains extremely vague. In-app settings describe “political content” as “likely to mention governments, elections, or social topics that affect a group of people and/or society at large.” This way, Meta is free to arbitrarily decide what “political content” is “eligible for recommendation” or not.
