Lula supporters march on Meta's São Paulo HQ six days before Brazil's election

Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'

About 200 demonstrators gathered outside Meta's São Paulo headquarters, accusing the company of throttling Lula's posts while boosting rival Flávio Bolsonaro's. The protest came as Brazil's Superior Electoral Court gave Meta 24 hours to prove it treats both campaigns equally. Meta denies interference. Organizers warn that with 70% of Brazilians getting news from Instagram, platform decisions shape the vote itself.

Meta cannot be an invisible judge of the electoral process.
