UFRJ Study Finds 568 Irregular Political Ads on Meta During Brazil Election Blackout

NetLab UFRJ's 'Observatório das Big Techs' identified 568 electoral ads published on Meta platforms during Brazil's pre- and post-election ad ban, including at least six impersonating the TSE. The finding suggests platform enforcement gaps and potential disinformation risks, though the study's methodology and Meta's response are not detailed.
