The company reinstated the profiles after an internal review, but the Brazilian government is seeking clarification
AI-generated summary
Meta temporarily suspended political accounts and profiles that disseminated content critical of financial scandals. The Ministry of Justice has requested formal explanations for these blocks.
A few days ago Meta, the company that owns Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, deactivated the advertisements on the Facebook profile of presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Pt). Campaign staff appealed, arguing the block was unjustified. A few hours later the account was restored, however the presidential candidate's campaign is still waiting for a statement from the technology giant to understand the reasons for what happened.
On the same day, the "Revelando o Brasil" profile was suspended on Instagram, responsible for publishing a video by comedian Fábio Porchat on the characters linked to the Banco Master case, the bank of the fixer Vorcaro which was the protagonist of a major corruption scandal. The block occurred only on Instagram. Before the suspension, the content had already racked up millions of views and over 100,000 shares, as reported by O Globo. The video remained available on YouTube during the suspension of the Instagram account, which Meta later reactivated.
Meta said it had reinstated the profile after an internal review and apologized for what happened.
However, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security has requested further explanations to clarify the reasons that led to this block.
