Meta tells Brazil's electoral court it treats Lula and Bolsonaro content equally
Meta has told Brazil's electoral court it has put in place measures to comply with its order on equal treatment of Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro campaign content.
Meta has told Brazil's electoral court it has finished putting in place measures to follow the court's directive, PBS NewsHour reports. The directive requires equal treatment of campaign content from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
The court had given Meta 24 hours to prove it treats the two candidates' content equally, France 24 reported. It threatened a daily fine for noncompliance.
The order followed allegations from Lula's campaign that Meta is suppressing his campaign content. France 24 describes the presidential runoff, set for Sunday, as closely contested.
Al Jazeera reports that a judge also doubled the daily fine for failing to follow an earlier court order on political content. The reports do not give the fine amount.
