Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Lula supporters protested at Meta, accusing it of election interference by boosting Bolsonaro content.
About 200 protestors from the 'Não Se Meta' platform demonstrated outside Meta's São Paulo headquarters, six days before the election. They accused Meta of reducing the reach of Lula's posts while favoring opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. Brazil's Superior Electoral Court gave Meta 24 hours to prove equal treatment of both campaigns. Activists called for digital sovereignty and criticized Meta as part of a 'digital colonialism' project. Both Lula and Bolsonaro have filed complaints; Meta denies interference.
What commenters are saying
The thread splits into two camps: those arguing Meta's alleged interference is a plausible continuation of US efforts to influence Brazilian politics, often citing CIA history, and those dismissing the complaints as sore-loser rhetoric that undermines democracy. Some commenters draw parallels to Twitter's 2020 Biden laptop censorship as open election interference. A few link the situation to broader technocratic or 'Technate' control theories, while others counter that hyperbolic talk of 'mind control' weakens the argument.
