Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, seeking re-election, has accused the platform Meta of interfering in the electoral campaign by blocking or reducing the reach of content related to his campaign.
In response to these accusations, Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court has ordered Meta to respond within 48 hours to clarify whether it has indeed limited the dissemination of Lula’s posts ahead of the runoff scheduled for October 25.
This election pits Lula against right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro in a very tight electoral context.
