  • According to Folha, internal messages acknowledged restrictions that hindered Lula’s Instagram accounts during the election.

  • The messages reportedly said the platform also recommended Senator Flavio Bolsonaro’s profile and his WhatsApp channel.

  • Meta said the technical issues were already public and concerned only their severity, not political interference.

  • On Thursday, Brazil’s top electoral court barred Meta from unjustifiably limiting political content for either candidate and required Meta AI neutrality.
  • Any suggestion that Meta favors one side is false.
