BRASÍLIA, Brazil — Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court (TSE) unanimously fined Meta 7.5 million Brazilian reais (approximately $1.4 million) on Tuesday, November 10, for failing to fully comply with judicial orders concerning the distribution of political content during the country’s 2026 presidential election.

The case stems from a complaint filed by the Brasil Pronto Pra Mais coalition, which supported President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s reelection campaign. The coalition accused Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, of applying unequal standards to political content, limiting the reach of posts supporting Lula while benefiting the campaign of his opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party (PL).
