Meta acknowledged technical problems affecting ads and posts from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s campaign but denied that its platforms favor Flávio Bolsonaro or distribute content based on political preferences. The company said a global glitch temporarily affected Instagram Reels view counts in more than 100 countries but did not interrupt video distribution; Lula’s posts that day were distributed above the account’s recent average. The campaign brought complaints to Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court, which ordered Meta to preserve relevant records and explain its actions.
