A few days before the second round of Brazil’s presidential election, the Superior Electoral Court gave Meta 24 hours to demonstrate that it was treating the campaigns of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro equally. Otherwise, the company risked fines of one million reais for each day of delay, and the court increased the sanctions after finding that Meta had not proven that it had implemented most of the required measures.
Separately, the Brazilian judiciary temporarily prohibited Meta from collecting and using materials created by media outlets to train artificial intelligence, following a request from national journalists’ associations and publications. The judge suspended provisions in the new terms of use that required the free surrender of journalistic content as a condition for using the platforms.
