Brazil’s Lula Accuses Meta of Favouring Election Rival

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his allies have accused Meta of seeking to favour his right-wing opponent ahead of an expected close presidential election, according to The New York Times.

The supplied account does not identify the challenger, describe the actions allegedly taken by Meta or provide evidence supporting the accusation. It also contains no response from the company.

The allegation should therefore be distinguished from an established finding of electoral interference: the available material reports Lula’s camp’s claim, but does not independently substantiate it.
