Meta denies accusation of anti-Lula political bias in Brazil after electoral court ruling

Meta has formally denied allegations of political bias regarding its conduct during Brazil’s recent presidential campaign. The company’s statement, issued on Friday, follows a ruling by the Brazilian electoral court mandating that the platform provide equal treatment to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his political opposition.

The court's decision serves as the primary catalyst for the current dispute, placing Meta under legal pressure to ensure neutrality in its content moderation and platform policies. The company maintains that its actions during the election cycle were not influenced by political bias, despite the court's intervention.
