Meta tells Brazil's electoral court it treats Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro equally ahead of Sunday vote

Ahead of Sunday's Brazilian presidential runoff, tech giant Meta informed the country's electoral court on Tuesday that it has complied with an order to provide equal treatment on its platforms to incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. The directive comes during an increasingly rancorous electoral race in Brazil.

In the first round of voting earlier this month, Flávio Bolsonaro received 47% of the vote, narrowly leading incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who captured 45%. The tight margin has intensified competition, with both presidential candidates actively seeking to disqualify each other in the final days before the vote.
