bā xī巴西zuǒ pài左派“xùn fú驯服”Metazhī之lù路：qiǎn zé谴责yǔ与fǎn kàng反抗
During Brazil’s 2026 presidential election, left-wing groups and supporters of Lula accused Meta of restricting content from Lula’s camp while making it easier for the far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro to be seen.
They launched the campaign “Meta, Don’t Interfere in Our Election,” created a website, and asked people to send emails, leave messages, and sign petitions. They also protested outside Meta’s offices, demanding protection for Brazil’s online rights.
Lawmaker Janones also reopened the WhatsApp channel “Lula’s Legion,” organizing millions of people to repost and comment together in the hope of “taming” the algorithm and helping more people see Lula’s positions.
Brazil’s electoral court ordered Meta not to influence content related to either candidate, or face a daily fine of 500,000 reais.
Meta acknowledged that the platform had experienced technical problems and that Lula’s advertising account had been mistakenly suspended for more than an hour, but denied political bias.
Lula later turned defeat into victory, was elected president again, and promised to strengthen regulation of large online platforms.
