President Lula campaign accuses Meta of interfering in Brazil election

Brazilian President Lula’s campaign has accused Meta of intentionally restricting the reach of his Instagram and Facebook posts.
Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court gave the tech giant 48 hours to account for reported irregularities and metric anomalies.
Meta rejected the interference claims as false, attributing the issues to widespread technical glitches that extended beyond Brazil.
Lula faces Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the October 25 runoff, with a recent poll placing Bolsonaro ahead at 51.1% to 45.7%.
