Meta Denies Political Bias Accusations in Brazil After Electoral Court Ruling

Tech giant Meta denied accusations of political bias during Brazil's presidential campaign following an electoral court ruling requiring equal treatment for candidates.

Lula da Silva's campaign lawsuit claimed Meta used biased algorithms and AI restrictions on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp to favor opponent Flávio Bolsonaro.

Meta attributed recent platform issues to unrelated global technical glitches, strict anti-fraud measures, and regulatory compliance rather than targeted content suppression.
