Meta was accused of censoring Lula's campaign content and favoring Bolsonaro during Brazil's presidential election, with its election ad revenue doubling to $57 million in 2026.
Meta is facing accusations at Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) of suppressing campaign content from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and promoting propaganda materials from Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Meta's products are widely used in Brazil, and an analysis shows the company received at least 288 million Brazilian Reais ($57 million) in direct campaign spending in 2026, double that of the 2022 presidential election. Furthermore, Meta has warned that Brazil's strict new digital content regulations, which prohibit AI-generated candidate images and require disclaimers on AI advertisements, threaten freedom of expression.
