International UN election observers are also reporting about the American platforms suppressing free speech.
But please, just go ahead and trust the company that was fined $25 billion dollars last week for lying and misleading the public about its involvement in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Isn't that link basically saying what I said above, but in the same obscured way to hide the details of what happened?
> Incidents include temporary interruptions of one candidate’s campaign account; differences in audience engagement, user feeds, view counts and reach; restrictions on that campaign’s Instagram posts; and differences between the main political parties in AI image generation, WhatsApp channel search results, candidates’ Stories and the distribution of political content potentially benefiting the opposing candidate’s campaign.

There are more options than "Completely trust the company" and "Completely trust any allegations against the company". Take some time and learn the details. Don't just pick sides and bury your head in the sand when someone wants to discuss facts.
Are you just going to keep throwing random links at me and ignoring the facts?
I'm not going to take "paydayreport.com" slop reporting over the actual Brazilian news sources I linked above. You're fully drinking the kool-aid and unquestioningly consuming any anti-Meta news as ground truth, but I'm trying to figure out what actually happened
"International election observers have raised concerns about Meta’s platforms. Incidents include temporary interruptions of one candidate’s campaign account; differences in audience engagement, user feeds, view counts and reach; restrictions on that campaign’s Instagram posts; and differences between the main political parties in AI image generation, WhatsApp channel search results, candidates’ Stories and the distribution of political content potentially benefiting the opposing candidate’s campaign."
Meta itself has been describing the favouritism as caused by technical glitches - which for some reason always benefitted Bolsonaro.
Searches for Lula on Instagram didn't show any results while searches for Bolsonaro worked.
Restrictions on Lula's ad account was apparently also a technical glitch.
Strangely enough, there was also some technical glitches that caused whatsapp searches for Lula's 7 million members whatsapp channel to bring up Bolsonaro's whatsapp channel instead.
Did I mention that Meta was fined $25 billion dollars last week for lying and misleading the public?
The American propaganda platforms have for a long time been helping the US regime to undermine democracies around the world. More and more Europeans are realising that the Nerd Reich are supporting the far right movements in Europe, helping Trump and his friend Putin in destabilising European democracies.
Hoping that Brazil and Lula will issue an international arrest warrant for Zuckerberg for being a foreign agent interfering in a sovereign state's election.
Germany should do the same with Musk.
The American propaganda platforms (especially Meta and X) have been weaponised to interfere in foreign elections for a long time. Brazil is just the latest example from South America. It is also happening in Europe. It is a stated goal of the Trump regime to change European governments which are not aligned with Trumpism.

I do believe the US interference in flipping most of latin america to the right the last few years reached levels we haven't seen in decades and the magnitude of the machinery behind that is something we have never seen before. Trump surely got quite a few puppet governments with the likes of Milei, Noboa, here with the incredibly corrupt de la espriella and now Brazil in the verge to have another Bolsonaro.
Brazilian left isn't much better. It's essentially a branch of the US democratic party. Nothing but minorities, progressive nonsense. Harmless stuff for the leftists to debate. The stuff that actually hurts the bottom line of capitalists? That's off limits. Bankers are raking in record profits under Lula.
After the left got eviscerated earlier this month in the 1st round of elections, some Brazilians went to the Chinese embassy and begged for foreign intervention. This sparked something of a cultural exchange on X when actual Chinese people showed up and started debating politics with them. The tentative alliance broke down the second Brazilian leftists started defending drugs and LGBT. What about the common worker's needs? Nothing. The workers are right wing now.
Trump and his tech bros have alienated Europe and other democracies in the world.
What the US is currently doing by openly supporting far right movements in Europe (and Brazil) while serving Putin's wishes have revealed a US on the wrong side of history.
The remnants of American democracy is paralysed and US is sliding into fascism.
Boycott US will be a fast growing movement in democracies all over the world.
Also see basic computer security which was not in place so Anthropic's buggy software (refusing to call it "rogue" agents) hacked into various websites
