    Meta Accused of Failing to Comply with Brazilian Court Order; Meta AI and Search Ranking Questioned Again

    Sleeping Giants Brasil and CTRL+Z have submitted new evidence to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court, alleging that tools on Meta's Instagram and WhatsApp still favor Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and associate President Lula with derogatory content, even though the court has ordered Meta to ensure both candidates receive equal treatment. The evidence concerns GIF search, hashtag ranking, and answers from the Meta AI built into WhatsApp, and the organizations are demanding that Meta make corrections within 24 hours and disclose the rules for ranking and AI-generated answers. Judge Bellizze had previously set a daily fine of 500,000 reais (about $99,000) and warned that it could rise to 1 million reais (about $198,000) if noncompliance continues; Meta denies intentionally favoring any candidate and has attributed earlier problems to technical glitches.
