Lula says that Meta must stop deceiving and "adapt to good practices"

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized Meta for misleading the public and called for the company to adhere to societal norms. He emphasized the need for accountability in the digital ecosystem and the fight against misinformation. Lula stated that any crime online should be treated as a real-life crime. His campaign strategist, André Janones, leads a digital mobilization group for Lula's re-election. The Brazilian Federal Public Ministry has demanded that Meta restore suspended accounts and content during the election period, citing over a thousand cases of disproportionate moderation. They also seek to ensure that moderation decisions are not solely automated and require human review.
