SÃO PAULO — A judge of Brazil’s top electoral court ruled Thursday that Meta must adopt measures to immediately secure equal treatment of the two presidential candidates ahead of an Oct. 25 runoff.
The ruling comes shortly after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is running against Flávio Bolsonaro, filed a complaint that accused the tech company that owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp of using biased algorithms and AI restrictions to favor opposition candidate Bolsonaro ahead of the election.
Lula’s campaign argues that accounts and advertisements associated with Flávio Bolsonaro have reportedly received artificially inflated visibility, with engagement metrics rivaling those of global celebrities. The two are in a close race for the presidency, after the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro garnered 47% of the vote against 45% for the incumbent in the first round on Oct. 4.
Yes, the one based thing right-wingers do is to abuse the rule of law maximally push their agenda
Meanwhile Liberals do nothing except put a small stop to the ratchet effect.
You said it yourself, the right wingers already did it to Lula. Why shouldn’t he do the same to them?
“Why shouldnt the left act as the right?”
Well, so far that made bolsonaro win the first turn of elections, but maybe something will change in the next week when lula lowers the age to put kids in prison right?
You mean put right winger foreign backed agents in prison right?
Like lula’s vice president or his minister who works for george soros? Who are you talking about?
The Soros guy can go straight to jail.
Holy centrism.
How the fuck is the left acting like the right? The reasons to ban the left? Vibes. The reason to ban the right? Betrayal
Lowering age for being put in prison, religious demagogy, spreading lies about the opponent, buying votes using social programs, prosecuting people for jokes, selling oil to israel, looking the other way when maduro was kidnaped, and so on. Gotta be blind to not see any of this
Also
I don’t see how that has anything to do with banning or not the comprador.
Lula government is not even left-wing. He is the only left permitted to exist, the other two leftist presidents were overthrown in coups.
Leftists aren’t a misery cult, when we can win we should so that less people are harmed, what’s the point of performing idealism if it’s the most marginalized that get harmed?
