Meta employees admitted in internal communications that Brazilian President Lula's Instagram account was restricted during the election, while the platform recommended the profile and WhatsApp channel of Lula's challenger, Bolsonaro, Brazilian newspaper Folha de S Paulo reported on Friday. This follows a ruling by Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court on Thursday that Meta must immediately take steps to provide equal treatment to both candidates before the presidential runoff on October 25, prohibiting its algorithms from favoring one side, or face a daily fine of 500,000 Brazilian Reais (approximately $98,700).
