Brazil Fines Facebook

BrasíliaFacebook was fined for 9 days of missed court orders.

Lula’s campaign accused Meta of favouring Flávio Bolsonaro, prompting a protest outside its São Paulo offices.

Brazil’s electoral court set fines of 500,000 reais a day for 3 days and 1 million reais a day for 6, totalling 7.5 million.

Justice Marco Aurélio Bellizze found no evidence so far that Meta tried to influence the result.

Proving intent would require full proceedings through the appropriate legal channels, the court said.
