Lula: Goal must stop deceiving and adopt "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 condemned the spread of misinformation. Lula stated that lies should not triumph over truth and insisted on treating online crimes seriously. André Janones, a key figure in Lula's campaign, coordinates a WhatsApp group to mobilize support and counter opposition narratives. The Brazilian Federal Public Ministry has also demanded that Meta restore suspended accounts during the election period, citing over a thousand cases of disproportionate moderation.
