Social media platforms like Meta’s still have a long way to go toward being transparent and helping users understand how to adjust their own settings to avoid content they don’t want, EFF’s Corynne McSherry told CBS News.
Meta says it didn't force users to follow President Trump on Facebook and Instagram
The company also said it was working to resolve an issue where some words, including "Democrats" and "Republican," were blocked from Instagram search.

For those tracking wildfire air quality: AQI can be misleading because the AQI model may be too slow to update, there isn't a sensor near you etc.
I recommend getting an air quality monitor that measures PM2.5. This will give you a better sense of local air quality in realtime.
