Meta admits error in Brazil election ads, denies interference; TSE orders equal treatment

Meta has admitted to technical errors that negatively impacted President Lula's campaign content during Brazil's election, while denying deliberate interference. Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has ordered Meta to ensure equal treatment of candidates, imposing fines for non-compliance, and the Ministry of Justice has initiated regulatory action. Allegations persist from Lula's campaign and internal Meta staff of platform bias favoring Bolsonaro, though these claims remain largely unverified by independent sources.
