Brazil's Supreme Court has given Meta 24 hours to prove that both Lula and Bolsonaro received equal treatment on social media. The court is examining whether the platform has been biased in how it handles the two candidates. The decision comes as both candidates face scrutiny over allegations of corruption and money laundering.
The court is looking into whether Meta has treated the two candidates differently in terms of visibility and engagement on its platform. Lula has pledged to disclose his financial records if Bolsonaro does the same, while Bolsonaro is under investigation over alleged corruption linked to the Banco Master scandal.
The court's ruling highlights the ongoing political and legal tensions surrounding the Brazilian election. Both candidates are under scrutiny for alleged misconduct, and the court's decision could have implications for the transparency and fairness of the election process.
The court has not yet provided a detailed explanation of its reasoning, but the deadline for Meta to respond adds pressure on the platform to clarify its actions. The case underscores the complex legal and political landscape surrounding the Brazilian election and the candidates' financial transparency.
