Meta denies accusation of anti-Lula political bias in Brazil after electoral court ruling

Meta has dismissed allegations of political bias in Brazil's presidential campaign, following an electoral court ruling requiring equal treatment for incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. The company asserts that recent platform issues were due to unrelated global technical glitches, anti-fraud measures, and regulatory compliance.

Meta denies the accusation of acting with political bias during Brazil’s presidential campaign, stating its systems distribute content based on equal rules and not political ideology.
