Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'

Interference with an election is so in line with the current president's character that nobody has any reason to think otherwise.

The political atmosphere in the USA, and worldwide let's be honest, has become so cynical that people aligned with the American president don't really see any issue with doing morally wrong things or downright illegal acts if that means a political victory for them.

Americans don't like any entity to interfere in their elections but the reality is that their corporations are knee deep in interference in other countries never mind what they themselves call the deep state!

Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica activity on Facebook during US elections in 2016.. Look it up if you don't remember. The same entity was also active in South America aka Colombia, Brazil, Argentina.. Cambridge Analytica was never charged and Facebook was never charged because it was all made legal. After the revelations, some laws changed but has it really changed. Is it stopping American interference in other countries? it doesn't look like it. What about at home? You know better than I do if you have an account; I don't.

Even though I've shilled the book before, it's an opportune thread to repeat the recommendation: if you haven't, read Careless People. For much of her career at Facebook, the author worked for Joel Kaplan, who was VP of Global Public Policy and is now Chief Global Affairs Officer. She's not particularly complimentary.

Meta (Instagram) certainly pushes one side in India. I am sure of it.

I didn't quite believe its involvement with things in Myanmar where media, people vowed left and right of Meta's involvement.

But seeing it now firsthand, I certainly believe it.

- Accounts, posts from one cabal being pushed to your feed even if you don't follow any of them.

- If you open a fresh account, the accounts from those cabal are recommended at top.

- Relentlessly showing posts from one side and promoting them like hell.

Suspected bot activities. There were posts that are sans merit clearly, but Insta pushed it and had the unvelievable amount of likes, like Messi would have, had he posted his wedding reels.

I don't have publishable evidence, but I ask you to trust me. Human to human.

I read newspapers, I don't trust megaliked reels. But most don't nowaday, and I saw real people fall to blatant lies and propaganda. It's real. You can say anything, but I am convinced fully.

Nao Se Meta, that's clever

A note on Meta AI was making the rounds the past few days: it will happily generate images featuring the right-wing candidate, logo or party number, while consistently refusing to generate anything related to the opposition Lula/PT/13.

They claimed it was a 'technical error'.

In September, as the elections geared up, they also suspened Lula's campaign account due to another 'technical error'. There are also thousands of complaints from users having their posts blocked.

It sure is a coincidence that parties in opposition to right wing political movements in different countries keep getting silenced on Meta.

It gives the appearance that Meta is not an impartial platform like they try to claim for regulatory purposes.

I am quite sure meta does support the german AfD. Rage causes engagement. AfD (and Trump and Orban and le Pen) communicate in such emotional ways that algorithms prefer them. Facebook does not care about truth, it cares about active users

They should probably protest with the structural integrity pf their nearest courthouse or prison

this is turning out to be a disaster for the tech communities and powering technology fearmongers because people do not understadn the case here.

From what I can see, the meta cutoff data was from a time where one candidate was confirmed and the other wasn't. The political interference here was actually the timely manner for them to fix this. It took weeks of public pressure / federal government pressure for Meta to act.

People should look up the North American Technate, because we're living in it. Its been a mission of techno-fascist for a couple decades, they're finally succeeding. They will get rid of democracy altogether

(they may have already, they can basically do mind control with recommendations algorithms and get swaths of people to do whatever they want).

Meta has interfered with elections before, we know the Trump admin wants Bolsonaro Jr in power, and the US establishment has supported anti-socialism in Brazil in the past. (The CIA agitated against Lula under Reagan, for example)

Is it overly conspiratorial to think the Meta is doing what they're accused of on behalf of the US?

Surprisingly the Brazilian left has embraced post-Musk Twitter instead of starting their own sovereign alternative platform.

One problem the Brazilian left is facing is that the non-Musk platforms are not too fond of death threats against Protestants, landlords, farmers etc.
