Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) unanimously fined Meta 7.5 million reais ($1.3 million) for missing judicial deadlines and failing to provide proper disclosure during a dispute over the handling of presidential campaign content, according to AFP.
￭ The case followed President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's complaints that target platforms favored his right-wing opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro, ahead of the October 25 presidential runoff, while deliberately suppressing content in Lula's favor.
￭ The judges found that Meta missed deadlines and provided insufficiently transparent information, which hinders the examination of its compliance with court orders.
