Meta blocks Lula's Facebook page two weeks before Brazil's election
Original: Meta Blocks President Lula's Facebook Page, Campaign Ads 2 Weeks from Election
Meta has blocked President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's Facebook page and campaign advertisements, with the suspension coming just two weeks ahead of Brazil's election. The move raises questions about how the platform regulates political accounts and campaign content in a major democracy, and why the restriction was imposed so close to voting day. The company's reasoning has not been made clear.
Why now: The timing, so close to a national election, makes the suspension of a sitting president's campaign presence highly contentious.
