Facebook users typically see content from friends, family, and followed Pages. This test changes that. Users in the test group might see public posts suggested by Facebook’s system. These posts come from accounts they have no connection to. The system uses signals like user interests to choose these posts.
Meta states this test helps people discover new things. It could help creators and businesses reach more people. People might find interesting posts they wouldn’t see otherwise. The company wants to see if users find these suggestions valuable.
Users can control this new feature. They can tell Facebook if they like or dislike a suggested post. They can also choose to follow the account that posted it. Options exist to hide specific posts or stop seeing posts from a particular account. Users can also turn off these suggestions completely in their settings.
