Meta employees say Lula’s accounts restricted in Brazil election: Report

Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that Brazilian President Lula's Instagram accounts were negatively affected by restrictions during the country's election, while the platform simultaneously promoted his challenger Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's accounts, according to messages reviewed by Brazilian media. Meta denied the accusations of political bias, claiming the technical issues were already public, but a Brazilian electoral court has since ordered the company to ensure equal treatment of both candidates ahead of the October 25 runoff or face daily fines.
