Instagram cracks down on content aggregators

Meta is testing a new “Series” feature for Reels that’s designed to make it easier to keep up with serialized content on Instagram and Facebook, the company told TechCrunch. Select creators will now be able to create a series using their Reels, both new and old. Each Reel will become an episode in a bigger story with a dedicated hub on their profile, mirroring an experience that’s already available on TikTok. The launch of the new feature indicates that Meta is embracing longer-term viewing, rather than quick scrolling sessions, as is normally the case with short-form videos. With organized series, the social media giant is looking to bring audiences back repeatedly and build stronger viewing habits. As for creators, the new feature offers a more organized way to release episodic videos, like tutorials and challenges. Image Credits:Meta Meta told TechCrunch that it’s considering ways to monetize the new feature, but didn’t share specifics on what that could look like. It’s worth noting that Instagram rival TikTok launched a Series feature back in 2023, allowing creators to post collections of premium content behind a paywall that viewers can purchase for access. It’s possible that Meta could follow a similar playbook with its own series feature in the future. Meta says it’s already seeing serialized content take off, so its newest test feature is meant to make it simpler to catch every episode. For example, if a creator is doing a “10 days of healthier baking” series, they can bundle all ten videos into a single series. The series would appear in a new tab on the creator’s profile with its own page so people can find all the episodes, watch them in order, and pick up where they left off. When viewers discover episodes of a series while scrolling their feed or the Reels tab, they will see the option to tap into the full series to see other episodes. Users also have the option to save a series to watch later or stay up-to-date. For the testing phase, Meta is working with select creators and content producers who have already shared serialized content on Instagram and Facebook.

A file photo of Speaker UT Khader. | Photo Credit: The Hindu Speaker of Legislative Assembly U.T. Khader said on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) that he is not intentionally delaying administration of oath to D.N. Jeevaraj, who has been elected to the Assembly from Sringeri constituency. As circumstances of his election to the Assembly is unique, the Speaker will have to study the legislative procedure, legal aspects and associated technical issues related to the administration of oath, Mr. Khader said.Talking to reporters, Mr. Khader said none approached him on May 4, 2026, a day after Mr. Jeevaraj was declared winner by the Election Commission. The application seeking time to administer oath was filed by Mr. Jeevaraj on May 5, 2026.The parliamentary system of democracy runs on trust, Mr. Khader said, adding that Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashoka and Mr. Jeevaraj approached Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on May 5, and needlessly accused him (Speaker) of delaying administration of oath.“I spoke to the Governor and put out my point of view,” Mr. Khader said. By accusing him (Mr. Khader) of delaying administration of oath, Mr. Ashok and Mr. Jeevaraj have created an impression of mistrust in public about the office of the Speaker. Mr. Ashok and Mr. Jeevaraj do not have paitence to wait for my decision on the latter’s application, he said.The Election Commission of India has to seriously look into faux pas related to counting of postal ballot votes. “Action should be taken against officials responsible for faulty counting of postal ballots. The officials should be held accountable. The ECI has to take action to ensure that such a scenario does not occur in future,” the Speaker said.Mr. Khader said the first meeting of the committee formed by the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, on framing common procedures for State Assemblies, will be held in Mysuru on May 12 and 13. This five-member committee of Speakers of State Assemblies will be headed by Uttar Pradesh Speaker Satish Mahana. The scenario arising out of Mr. Jeevaraj’s election will be discussed in the meeting, Mr. Khader said. Published - May 06, 2026 03:26 pm IST
