Facebook said Wednesday it will move to muffle the reach of political content on the social media platform, saying it will start testing news feeds for users in Canada, Indonesia, and Brazil.

“During these initial tests we’ll explore a variety of ways to rank political content in people’s feeds using different signals, and then decide on the approaches we’ll use going forward,” Facebook’s product management director, Aastha Gupta, said in a blog post on Wednesday.
