On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Brazil imposed a fine of 7.5 million reais (about 1.3 million dollars) on the "Meta" company, which owns the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp platforms, for not adhering to the principle of equality in dealing with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his rival, Luilo in the elections for President Flavio, during the election of Victor Bolson. On October 25 last.
The seven judges of the court unanimously approved the decision to impose the fine after Judge Marco Aurelio Bellizzi concluded that the company did not meet the deadlines set for the execution of the judicial measures, and provided partial information that lacked transparency. However, the court noted that the violations did not prove the existence of a "deliberate act aimed at manipulating the election process."
